Thank you for your interest in Community Montessori School ("CMS"). We are located in Oakbrook Church, 1700 Reston Parkway, Reston, VA, although we have no affiliation with any church. We are pleased to offer a unique Montessori-based program, bringing excitement and quality to your child's education.

     Our school started in September 1995 with one small classroom and seven students, and continues to maintain low student/teacher ratios and a family-oriented atmosphere. CMS is affiliated with the American Montessori Society, and our staff is highly qualified and Montessori trained.

     CMS offers primary Montessori classrooms and toddler rooms. Our Montessori "Young Children's Community" cherishes each child for his or hers uniqueness and provides personalized, loving care that encourages the child learn and grow. In our prepared classroom, we accept children ages 16 months thru 6 years.

     Our Montessori preschool, "Children's House," is based on the whole-child approach. The primary goal of the program is to help each child reach full potential in all areas of life. Children spend each work period moving freely from one activity to another guided by a specially trained teacher and their own curiosity. They choose activities that are often self-correcting and increasingly more difficult. Each step in this academic process reinforces a positive attitude, self-motivation and a growing self-confidence.

     Community Montessori School offers a full-day kindergarten, allowing those who are curious about their world to learn. In addition, we provide a music, dance, and foreign language programs.

     Our hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. We offer year-round extended, full and half-day programs. If you would like to schedule an appointment to tour our school and learn about how the Montessori philosophy translates into an excellent education for your child, please call us. We look forward to hearing from you.
