About Us

• The Springs, A Montessori preschool and Kindergarten in located in Springfield, VA. We have been providing Montessori education to the Northern Virginia area since 1966. Our goal is to provide a secure, inviting, challenging and stimulating environment for the intellectual and social development of each child in accordance with the Montessori philosophy. We are currently accepting applications for the fall.We offer both a full day Montessori Program and a half day Montessori Program. Our classrooms provide traditional Montessori education with mixed age groups where children are encouraged to learn and develop at his or her own rate in accordance with his or her own needs, interests, and abilities. We are devoted to helping children acquire a love of learning, intellectual curiosity, respect for others and self discipline. Classroom facilities are rented from The Springfield Christian Church, but the school is independent and classes are secular. The Springs is dedicated to the Montessori philosophy and the method of teaching developed by Maria Montessori. In the Montessori classroom, each child will learn and develop at his or her own rate, in accordance with his or her own needs, interests and abilities. We work to help children acquire a love of learning, develop their academic potential, develop self discipline, as well as self respect and respect for others. The ages in a Montessori class range from two and a half to six years old. Children learn and develop new skills as they are ready rather than when they reach a certain age.
