  • We have been part of the MSoC (Brookfield location) family for over 4.5 years with our two kids. All the teachers and the director, Ms. Alicia, have been absolutely amazing,... read more and both our kids truly love school. Ms. Alicia always opens the door and greets the kids with the warmest, most loving smile. The primary and assistant teachers consistently go above and beyond, treating the children with so much respect, care, and love. From the toddler program to the primary class, our boys have loved their teachers and their school experience. They have grown so much during their time here, and we are incredibly thankful to Ms. T, Ms. Rashmi, Ms. Lida, Ms. Mumtaz (retired), and Ms. Afsaneh for the positive impact they’ve had on our children’s lives. Ms. Alicia is very approachable, always helpful, and readily available whenever support is needed. They plan amazing events throughout the year to celebrate moms and dads, and all cultural holidays throughout the year. These events are so fun and well planned, and we love to go watch our kids perform. It truly feels like a family here and a second home for our kids. Words are not enough to express how grateful we are to have been part of such a wonderful MSoC family! P.S. Bonus - they offer date nights for parents several times a year, which is perfect to get some alone time for parents, while kids have fun-filled evening with Ms. Emely and Ms. Alicia!

I would recommend this school to any parent who is looking for an excellent school with a loving environment.

    Montessori School of Chantilly is one of the best preschools that offers special curriculum that is an asset to the Fairfax county Public schools. For example, one of the reasons... read more why I enrolled my child about five years ago because the school offered an educational curriculum that included a yoga class in its tuition at age 18 months up to 5 years old. Montessori School objective was to establish early intervention and guidance of yoga practice which will benefit the preschoolers as they develop levels of focus and stillness. A child in this school for sure will get ahead in life in mostly every task they under take. Not to forget improving their physical strength and flexibility. Today I teach at Montessori school of Chantilly as the yoga teacher and I’m excited about the student’s eagerness and enthusiasm to take their Monday yoga practice as they find it relaxing and fun before dismissal. I find this school a great place for the students as well as for the teachers. Thank you Kulten for bringing Montessori School of Chantilly to our community.

    This is absolutely the most nurturing and flexible option for young children in the area. It is also an extraordinary value for your dollar. I have been continuously grateful that we... read more found them, and felt happy taking my kids there every day.The Montessori School of Chantilly offers high quality Montessori education, supplemental lessons on subjects like language and science, physical education including dance and yoga, snacks and hot meals are provided, and care is from 7AM to 6PM all year with just the normal holidays (no week-long breaks). This is one great package of learning and exposure for all kids - no a-la-carte confusing pricing or wait lists like other schools.The teachers are Montessori trained. They each have the autonomy to set up their own classrooms, and design their own lesson plans. Having experienced national-chain curriculum in the past, I vastly prefer this teacher-driven environment. There are also always plenty of loving and skilled caregivers, between teachers and assistants, to ensure the children's safety and comfort. Both of our boys grew leaps and bounds in the time they were at Montessori School of Chantilly. Their teachers recognized their unique strengths, and appealed to them in ways that encouraged them to stretch. I also loved the way our kids talked about what they did at school and showed us their new skills. My 5yo designed a living-room obstacle course to mimic the "Jump Bunch" they had at school, and my 2yo brought home lots of sweet songs. We had to move..and our family will miss the Montessori School of Chantilly most of all.

    Our children attended the Montessori School of Chantilly for over three and a half years, and we absolutely loved it. From toilet training and learning how to use scissors... read more in the Toddler Classroom to reading fluently in Kindergarten, our children thrived here socially and academically. Afterwards, they transitioned seamlessly into FCPS.Our children loved the Specials (yoga, sports, Spanish), the special events (Lunar New Year, Mothers Day and Fathers Day, Diwali, pumpkin patch, to name a few), and all of the songs, art projects, sewing, and on and on. The Montessori curriculum is wonderful here, and the teachers are outstanding. The children are well-supported academically and emotionally, and they are given the tools they need to navigate their world at school and beyond.The Montessori School of Chantilly is a very special place, and it was a privilege to have sent our children here. The things our children learned about themselves and the world will last a lifetime.

Our Approach to Learning

The Montessori Difference

Instead of asking children to follow a rigid lesson plan, we follow the child. The Montessori method is built on respecting each child's unique developmental path. Our classrooms provide a calm, ordered, and engaging environment where children are free to choose their work, guided by our trained and caring staff. This freedom within limits helps them develop focus, self-discipline, and a strong sense of purpose, building a solid foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

"As our daughter finishes up her time here, I feel compelled to echo all the other praises for the Montessori School of Chantilly. This is absolutely a wonderful place with dedicated educators and caregivers. Our daughter was excited for every day of school and we saw the incredible growth and development every week. There was clear communication from the staff and teachers, we were given updates nearly every day (via photos and videos through the Procare app), and enjoyed multiple events throughout the year. The best place for your young one to start their journey!"

"We decided to enroll our son at Montessori of Chantilly because after going through a long list of preschools in the area, I really did not find a place that "felt right and safe" specially during COVID except for this one.
I communicated with Ms. Kaltun, the director and I must say, after speaking to her once, I was "sold" at putting my son at her school. She is very personable, very kind and understanding, genuine and just listened to my questions, concerns and answered them confidently which gave me peace of mind sending my son over to a school during the pandemic. We then went to the school for a tour and met Ms. Komala, our son's primary teacher. At first meeting, our son felt very comfortable with her and he never forgot her name even tho it took us about 4 months before starting in class- she sure gave him a good impression and really showed us how much she cared for the children.

I have so much good things to say about the school. I have recommended them to my friends and coworkers who also had good experience with them. Overall, this is a place that cares about our children, they do not look at them as numbers like all the others.

If you want quality education and a safe place for your children, this is it."

"Montessori School of Chantilly has been a gem for our infant son. We stumbled upon it after searching for daycares in the middle of the pandemic and we feel we have been the luckiest folks. The infant room lead teacher Ms Hamida and her assistant Ms Fauzia are the most loving and caring people that could have ever taken care of our boy. They care for him with so much love and compassion, it actually feels like we're dropping him off at his Grandmother's house. This has been godsend for us especially this being our first born. They also do a great job at sending daily pictures and videos through their activities as well as a summary of the day. Infant care is tough, but Ms Hamida and Ms Fauzia make it look easy. Thank you so much! We couldn't have asked for better caregivers."

- S M.

"What a team of talented, caring, strong, and intelligent leaders our school has. ... everyone in the staff is just wonderful to speak with! They are diligent and always so welcoming. I can't thank these super women enough for taking care of my child so well- it is our 2nd year and the staff has been incredibly helpful in teaching these children the valuable lessons every day. Miss Kaltun, Miss Nora, Miss Wahida , Miss Preeti, Miss Sapna ... list goes on and they continue to make things better & better.. not only for my child but for these budding humans that will take over the world in future!"
