We've been at the school for over 2 years, and my kid is transitioning out of this school and going…read moreinto first grade in our neighborhood public school. Thought it's time for an update! During the past two years, lots has changed--Our lead guide (teacher), the school admin team, guides in other classrooms, etc. While all changes are hard, I think the school does a pretty good job keeping kids and parents informed, and minimizing any transition challenges. Overall, I stand by my impressions from 2 years ago--Ms. Christine (our previous lead guide, now the head of school), Ms. Freshta (our previous assistant guide, now a lead guide in a different classroom and a lead guide in the kindergarten program), Ms. Vinita (our current lead guide who was previously our assistant guide), Ms. Dawn (float guide), and other guides/staff, are all amazing. They continue to be my daughter's anchor during many of the school administrative changes. Because of the high teacher quality, I would highly recommend this school to any families wanting to go with a Montessori education. Now, the school is not perfect--there are some things that were inconvenient and/or different from our expectations, but as someone who used to work in schools, the most important things is that the staff are qualified and truly care. We can deal with some hiccups here and there: - The biggest friction I had with the school is that I noticed not all staff are well-trained in the Montessori methods. For example, even when I observed briefly at a recent school event, I noticed one of the (newer) guides VERY QUICKLY took over what my daughter was working on when she struggled (for like 10 seconds). When I asked my daughter about this guide, she told me that this happens a lot. I get that the guides come from different background and learn at different speeds...and so we practiced how to push back respectfully instead of us talking to the guides. This is an easily missable detail for busy parents, however. - The guides do a great job not using technology or screens for the most part, and when they do (which is extremely rare), they are intentional and thoughtful. HOWEVER, my daughter and her classmates brought to our attention of a fairly inappropriate song in a foreign language--and they claimed that a guide had shown them the song. The song is not our guide's native language, it is catchy, and I can see it accidentally/automatically come up on Spotify or other music platforms. It is also entirely possible that the song didn't originate from the guides, but from another student. - We stayed with guidepost for 5 years (3 at another guidepost location, 2 at the south riding location), and my favorite thing about it was the holiday hours--They used to only close on MAJOR holidays such as thanksgiving and christmas, but not smaller holidays such as president's day or Juneteenth. They now close on a lot more holidays, which is harder for us who don't get these days off. But their calendar is still better than many daycares following public school schedules. - Some admin transitions (such as a company buying out the school, leaving the staff with very limited notice and preparation) was ROCKY, although I think Ms. Christine and the staff dealt with it the best that they can. - There were quite a lot of staff turnover this past year, especially in the younger kids' classrooms. Overall, we find that the pros significantly outweighs the cons for our family at this school. I would still recommend it to anyone without hesitance, and we are so, so grateful to all the amazing staff--Our heroes without capes!

I enjoyed our initial visit and Monica (the previous head of the school) was great to work with. our son quickly adapted to his classroom & became very close with his teacher who is no longer there (Ms. Aya). he has since moved up to Children's House with Ms. Freshta and Ms. Priyanka! they know how to work with each children as they are all different in their way of learning. they have been nothing but patient and they love challenging my son to help him reach new heights. in his time there, he has learned a lot. they took potty training very seriously and he started just about as soon as he joined the school. he loves going to school & as a Montessori, they are very "children based". the students do everything themselves in the classroom to help them gain independence at an early age. when we first signed up, we were told our son would know his multiplication table by 4 and fractions by 5 so I'm excited to watch him progress. the new director, Ms. Desirae, has been a pleasure to work with. she has quickly immersed herself in the school and learned every child in all the classrooms. Ms. Cady at the front desk is very helpful and greets everyone as they come in. the after school teacher assistants like Ms. Dawn are super helpful and the children love her! my only gripe is that lunch is not provided. my daughter went to a school nearby growing up that did provide lunch, but it seems a lot of the daycares in the area no longer provide lunch. but different times I guess.

As a parent, it was great to co-op (help) in their class: it's a great chance to see your kids interacting with other kids, teachers, and helpers. Their play-based learning approach is great--at that age, learning to play with peers, and act out what it would be like in a role, is more helpful than rushing to teach academic skills. It's also nice to join a community of like-minded families. Our kids are in mid-late elementary school and we still use Spring-Mar phrases like "walking feet!" (walk, don't run) with them.

Watching the school grow alongside our daughter has been an incredible journey, and we are so grateful to have been part of it from day one. The love, care, and dedication shown by the entire staff is beyond anything we could have hoped for. Our daughter absolutely thrives in this environment--she walks in every day with confidence and joy, and comes home with stories, songs, and new skills that amaze us. Thanks to the strong foundation provided by Celebree, she's now heading into kindergarten well above grade level--both academically and emotionally. More than just academics, though, Celebree has helped shape her into a kind, curious, and confident little girl. The teachers truly see each child as an individual and nurture their unique strengths with patience and heart. We can't imagine a better place for our daughter to have spent these formative years. Thank you, Celebree, for being such a loving and inspiring part of her life!

I genuinely trust the staff at this facility to give quality care for my son because they've never shown me any reason to believe otherwise.

What's most important to me is that my child is safe and happy, and I am assured of that through the kindercare app every day after dropping my son off.

From day one they were supportive, understanding, and made it an easy transition. Two years later, it is obvious that the entire staff cares deeply for each and every student. It feels like they are family!! I really can't say enough good things about the staff. Our son's teachers have been amazing and I feel as though they truly care about my child, continually encouraging his learning and development. Even as we have moved up in classrooms, his former teachers still check in with him and want to see how he is doing. They clearly love what they do and being with the children. I don't know how they do it, but Sharon and Monica at the front desk know the names of every single parent and child. It is seriously impressive, and shows their dedication and love of working with the children. The entire staff is wonderful!! The building is very secure, and the classrooms are kept immaculately clean on a daily basis. The hours are great for those with long work days. They provide food and a weekly menu that looks very nutritious and diversified. They have a chef on staff that cooks the meals right in the building. Not only does this save us time, it reduces food envy among the kids, and makes our days a ton easier. They also adapt easily for kids with allergies. What I love most is that they have a curriculum for every classroom. I have heard many parents say that infants don't need a curriculum, but at 2 we can see a clear difference in our son's learning vs. others his age. He learned sign language, English, and Spanish simultaneously! And without prompting he surprised us and counted to 10...he isn't even 2 years old yet!!! We are continuously amazed at how much he learns every day. It is clear that they have done thorough research into academic learning theories and methodologies and have combined the best of all of them into one great curriculum that works!!! I have no doubt that we are setting our son up for a lifetime of learning because of how they approach childhood cognitive development. Primrose uses Tadpoles to send photos and daily reports, which keeps us very in tune with his daily lessons. We get weekly reports on what they are learning and tips of how parents can integrate the lesson plans at home to continue the learning. We love the photos and videos that we get every day. He is always so happy to be there and enjoying the many activities. I highly recommend Primrose of Ashburn! You will be amazed at how much your child learns on a daily basis and how caring the entire staff is with the children!!

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!!!
