LePort Montessori Reston

It took us a long time to find a good Montessori school in Reston for our 3-​yr old, as, even though, there are plenty of good choices, there was always something that did not work well for us — sometimes it was the schedule, sometimes the fact that you have to bring your own lunch (we are a family with both parents working full-​time, so that could be a hassle), or the lunches provided was not of good quality, sometimes we did not like the playground or location (I guess we are picky parents), until we found a school that we really liked — Boyd school Reston campus with it’s open and bright premises, lunches provided are of good quality, etc. We have read reviews online and they were mixed, negative reviews mostly had to do with high teacher /​director turnover. We still decided to enroll and as soon as we did, the school did have a new director and there was some uncertainty with new teachers so we did not know until the last moment who our son’s teacher will be. So we were a bit nervous, of course, but we liked everything else about the school based on our criteria, so decided to still go with this school. And we are so glad we did! The new director, Melissa Camuti, is very responsive and helpful and easy to reach; and we could not be happier with the teacher, Ms. Amrit, and her assistant Ms. Jess! Our son adjusted faster than we thought, he is happy there and looks forward going to school! Also, there are only 7 kids in his class now which we are very happy about vs 16 – 20 in most other places (that can change, of course). It also is reasonably priced compared to many other schools taken into account the fact that snacks and lunch are included.

The Boyd School has been the best Montessori school I’ve enrolled my daughter in to date. We have moved around with my job quite a bit, so we have had the opportunity to experience other settings, and this campus is hands down the best. In addition to an excellent, accredited curriculum, most of the staff have been with the school for an average of 10 plus years. All of the staff are very approachable (especially Miss Laura and Miss Mozes). If I have had questions, they have treated me with sincerity and respect. I can bring my daughter in the morning and be assured she is being well cared for, and participating in developmentally appropriate and engaging activities. She loves her school and her teachers. The Boyd School is reasonably priced for the top notch quality of the program, and is a true «home away from home» environment.

We enrolled our daughter in the toddler program with Ms. Desiree as the toddler guide. I have had nothing but great experiences in her classroom. After a few weeks, my daughter started asking to go to school every morning, saying she wants to go do her «work.» She has learned potty training and putting on most of her clothes including her coat, «up and over.» Ms. Desiree and Ms. Monica are both very kind, caring, responsible and sympathetic towards all of the children in the class, and create a warm, happy, educational and nurturing environment daily. I highly recommend the Boyd school in Reston
