The Essentials

Language Lessons

Our Language Lessons are incorporated into all curriculum areas to assist with vocabulary development, progression into reading, spelling , development of writing skills and composition. Language in Montessori starts with individual letter sounds. Sandpaper Letters provide children with a multisensory experience that helps them imprint the letter shapes into their memory.

Kindergarten children master skills such as, dictionary skills, poetry, penmanship and parts of speech and grammar. Each skill builds to another and forms a solid base which leads to smooth integration with other subjects.

How we differ from a traditional daycare and kindergarten

Parents of our students will tell you that the biggest difference between our school and a traditional daycare or kindergarten can be found in the light they see in their child’s eyes each day. This light is their child’s drive to learn and develop; it represents the key contrast between Montessori schools and traditional schools.

Both Montessori and traditional preschools have the same goal: to provide learning experiences for the child. The differences lie in the types of learning experiences each school provides and the methods they use to accomplish this goal. We believe these differences are crucial because they help shape how a child learns, whether they enjoy learning, and their future attitude towards themselves and the world around them.

Both of my children love it there and I know that it is because of the amazing care and attention that they receive from their amazing teachers and staff. The education that they receive has set them up to be ahead academically, while the practical life skills help them every day to achieve new things.”

“We love this school!! The teachers and staff at this school have done such a great job helping our kids discover their talents and strengths, all while motivating them to learn and grow in areas that they’re not as great or interested. Needless to say, our kids love this school, their teachers, and their friends at this school.”

“Words cannot express what Montessori School of Leesburg & Purcellville (MLP) has meant to us over the years. Our son started with the Montessori Program when he was 2 and continued through kindergarten. I will never forget the night before his first day of 1st grade, his Montessori teacher, Ms. Sandra called us to let us know she was thinking about Ryan and wanted to wish him a great first day! I tear up just thinking about how special that was! Ryan is still best friends with a boy he met while at Montessori! They’re in middle school now! The care, compassion, and educational foundation is beyond compare! Our daughter is 7 months old and recently started with MLP and LOVES it! Her teacher, Ms. Diandra is kind, patient and incredible with the kids! We know our baby is in the best hands! My daughter is all smiles when we drop her off in the morning, and when we pick her up in the afternoon. We are so grateful every day to be a part of the MLP family.”
