Our pre-school teacher has been with the school over 26 years - we love her. As a matter of fact the teacher who has been here the shortest amount of time is 6+ years. Low turn over speaks volumes for the children's environment/programs. The school is located on 4 acres backing to a park. They have an awesome playground. The curriculum is literature based. They offer: pre-school, pre-K, full day kindergarten, afterschool care, mommy & me classes, & summer camp. If you are looking for a school, make an appointment. You won't be disappointed!

Ms. Nazli and her team are all phenomenal with the babies, and they truly loved my daughter during her time at MCHL. We had to make the difficult decision to transfer her due to my work office changing locations.

Thank you to the staff at MCHL for showering our daughter with so much love during her experience. We are forever grateful.

From the staff to the teachers, owners, leadership and daily activity teachers they bring in, the days are incredibly well thought out. The rooms are set up incredibly well and children lack for nothing. In addition to the kids opportunities, the parents have seemed to get along incredibly and the PTA volunteers are active and create great participation. As a historic testimony to the growth and consistency of MCHL, we have 10 children on our block alone that span 12 years of MCHL with different teachers all having the same great experience. All of the other parents that we have met and known at MCHL seem to convey the same message. I recommend at the very least interviewing the staff and teachers at MCHL when it comes to making a decision for schooling.

Our daughter,…read moreRaegan, started there as a bright-eyed 9-month-old and recently graduated from their kindergarten program. The teachers at Playful Platos are truly exceptional. Their warmth, patience, and dedication to each child's development are evident in everything they do. Raegan has blossomed under their guidance, developing a love of learning and a strong sense of independence. Sincere thanks to Ms. Nadia, Ms. Malika, Ms. Akshita, Ms. Malik, & Ms. Kiran. (I'm certain I've missed someone that had a hand in Raegan's development.) Raegan was always excited to go to school and explore the various activities in the prepared environment. We've been amazed by her progress, not only in academics but also in practical life skills and social-emotional development. We are so grateful to the entire Playful Platos community for providing Raegan with such a nurturing and enriching early childhood education.

The environment is safe, clean, and filled with fun, educational activities that keep the children engaged and excited to go every day. As a Montessori school, it fosters independence, creativity, and a love for learning in every child, providing hands-on learning experiences tailored to each child's unique pace. The teachers are nurturing, professional, and always keep us informed about our child's progress and daily experiences. We couldn't be happier with the level of care and love our child receives here - it's like a home away from home! We highly recommend it to anyone considering putting their children in childcare, as the school is amazing. They truly are dedicated to safety as well as nurturing every student as they grow. I also want to add that the teachers are absolutely phenomenal. In the years that we have been part of Playful Platos, we have never had an issue with a teacher as they are all awesome. You can truly feel safe and good when dropping your children off, as you know they are in good hands and will be loved as much as you love them. Our decision to choose Playful Platos will always be something we are proud of, as finding teachers who truly love the children regardless of what classroom they are in can sometimes be tough. This school is truly a rare gem.

I have never felt more comfortable leaving my kids in the care of all of the amazing staff here. They are truly like one big family and they make all of their students feel part of that family. There is virtually no staff turnover which is unheard of at daycares. Lindsey (the director) is so amazing at her job she really does care for each and every student and parent. The communication on a day to day basis is great you can always message the teachers and check in at any time alongside receiving pictures/activity updates. I also wanted to mention the summer camp for K and older was an amazingly run program from the camp staff to the activities- they went on so many field trips and my son had the time of his life. So if you are looking for daycare, private K, or an afterschool program- GPA is by far the best choice!!!

We knew that we…read morewanted to enroll our children into a play-based part-time preschool program and Katydid Farm Preschool was the perfect fit for our family. We've taken classes starting at the Tiny Tots programs all the way up to the Pre-K level classes. The teachers are all kind and caring and my children have made wonderful friends. They have learned so much during their time here both academically and socially. The curriculum is play-based, but it is still structured enough to be a very beneficial option to assist with transitioning into a traditional Kindergarten environment. The classes take place inside a really neat historic school house and often includes outdoor adventures to the adjacent playgrounds and Frying Pan Farm Park to visit with the animals. I wish my own preschool experience had been this fun!

What we were looking for was a smooth transition between preschool and Kindergarten. We had narrowed down to 3 Montessori schools for my now 4yr old son. We decided on Center Stage after touring the facility with Heather, the Director. She is truly passionate about education and that reflected wonderfully in the little details she mentioned while she gave us a tour. My son has been going here for a month now. Within the first few days his vocabulary and conversation skills improved leaps and bounds. He is excited to go to school and learn every day. Being a parent who already has experience with an older Montessori educated child, I can confidently say that Center Stage is easily at par or higher than any Montessori schools in and around Loudoun. The teachers are awesome! They are straight forward and ask us about our goals for our children and are ever willing to work with us. The child to teacher ratio helps them give a lot of individual attention to every child. They communicate everyday to us and send us lesson plans and pictures of our child throughout the day. I would highly recommend Center Stage to anyone looking for a good preschool or daycare for their kid. They are Montessori and more!

Center Stage is a pre-school that follows the popular Montessori approach; however, they've changed it a bit to make it more practical and engaged in today's world. What makes Center Stage great and unique is that they have a team that really cares. They truly take a personal approach with every child they have. We put our son in Center Stage two months ago and have been very pleased on the progression that he has made so far. What we appreciate the most is that the teachers are very honest. They will tell you the truth where your child's strengths are and his/hers areas of improvement. As a team, they will then work diligently to make those improvements and have a curriculum that will keep the child highly engaged. We could clearly tell that Heather and her team are very passionate about early education and child development. Center Stage truly has a unique curriculum and approach compared to your usual pre-school or 'daycare'. They really strive for the best. Thank you Center Stage! Keep on rocking!
