Northeast Stars Montessori Preschool DC

Our two children have attended the Alexandria campus for the last three years and absolutely love the teachers. We intend to send our third when he's old enough. Lots of fun activities, and an easy-going approach to the Montessori method.

We love Northeast Montessori! My son has developed so much since he started there last October - much of it I attribute to how caring and wonderful the teachers and care givers are. Though all of the them are amazing (thoughtful, caring, instructive), Miss Dina in particular deserves a shout out. She makes every child feel special. We are so happy that we found Northeast Montessori!

My son Sammy started at Northeast Stars (DC location) last summer for camp. Prior to that he was home with grandma until age two. As a result, coming in to a full time care environment was totally new to him and it was a tough transition. However, the staff there, especially Miss Dina (lead teacher), Miss Kim (Sammy's classroom teacher) and Miss Monica (after care teacher), were incredibly warm and worked through it with us. There were many tears in the morning and at the end of the day when Sammy would see other kids picked up before him. However, it only took a few weeks for him to adjust before he was waving goodbye and running in to join his friends and teachers. One year later, after a successful school year, Sammy is back for camp and continuing to love it. He is now 3 years old and in extremely great shape to start Pre-K 3 at a Montessori program in PG county in the fall. I am confident that he will blow his new teachers away with all he has learned already at Northeast Stars. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to help her child get a head start with learning activities of daily life, practicing motor skills, as well as working on precursors for reading, writing, and math. All this before age 3! I also particularly enjoy the emphasis on grace and courtesy. We really get a kick out of how polite our little guy has grown to be at such a young age. I know this will serve him well throughout life.

It’s been a wonderful place for my son- so wonderful that we came back after a disappointing experience in DCPS. My son’s confidence has exploded and NE Stars has really nurtured his love of learning.

My son regularly sings the songs he learns at NE Stars and speaks often of his friends and teachers.
