Montessori
What makes Montessori education so different that drives parent to enroll their children for this? The reason lies in the program’s three main principles of learning – self-directive, cooperative, and non-competitive.
1. Self Directive: At a preschool in Chantilly, children are just given the resources they need and the learning objectives. They’re not subjected to strict timelines to complete their tasks. Giving them free rein on their tasks is a way to develop their independence, creative thinking, and curiosity.
2. Cooperative: At an infant care and Montessori school, learning isn’t teacher-centric. Instead, it focuses on collaboration between students and teachers. As kids are encouraged to direct their own learning pace, they’re also trained to ask questions and guidance from facilitators.
3. Non-competitive: As kids are trained to be cooperative and independent, they’ll also learn to appreciate the learning process of their peers. At a child care in Virginia, kids are trained to see education as a long-term personal growth initiative, not as a way to compete with others.
We at Maplelawn Montessori strive hard to deliver bigh quality Montessori at preschool level.
Reggio Emilio
As the foundational stage, early childhood education should include activities promote the child’s holistic growth – emotional, physical, mental, social, and spiritual. This is the reason there have been several educational approaches over the years designed to achieve this goal. One of the most notable of which is the Reggio Emilia approach.
In Reggio Emilia approach, the child is seen as a highly resourceful, inventive, and curious individual with the innate drive to interact with others.

What Parents Say About Our School
Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value
I’m so grateful that we chose this school to care for our youngest son. In the two and half years we have been attending, my son has grown and learned more than I thought possible. They have loved him like their own, making the transition back to work seamless.
Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value
I absolutely love this school! My son has been going there for over a year now and the team at Countryside has always been incredibly attentive, loving, and caring towards him. They post pictures and videos throughout the day which allow me to see all the activities they have him involved in – which includes a lot, story time, arts and crafts, music time, playground activities, etc.
Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value
Finding a great quality daycare and starting a new job during a pandemic can be very stressful. However, the frequent updates/ pictures/ videos in the portal put me at ease. This is not your average child care facility. Both of my children are actually learning while still having fun everyday. The staff is amazing and treat you like family. The facility is very clean, secure, and structured for children. I definitely recommend
