Playful Platos Montessori

"We enrolled all three of our children at Playful Platos at the start of this school year. We love the level of communication and transparency provided by the Director, Ms. Kiran, and have been absolutely delighted with each of the programs our children are enrolled in. We also really appreciate the school's Covid precautions and cleanliness. Most of all, we have been so impressed with the dedication, enthusiasm, professionalism and kindness of each and every teacher we've encountered at the school. Our son is thriving in the Primary program under the expert care of his teacher, Ms. Aghili, who treats each of her students with so much respect and warmth. She also treats us as partners in our son's education and offers such insightful feedback to us on his progress in the classroom. The Toddler program has helped to foster our daughter's confidence, as well as her academic and practical skills, and her language skills at home have blossomed since joining this class. We love seeing how much she adores her teachers, who bring so much fun and joy to each day! It is heartwarmingly clear that the teachers in the Infant program love their job and cherish each of the children in their care. By her second week away from home, our daughter was happily reaching for her teachers at drop-off, and I love getting updates from them about her day when I pick her up! We feel so fortunate to have found Playful Platos, and would absolutely recommend them to others in the Ashburn community."

"We have looked at a lot of different places for my twin kids to attend. Had difficulty finding a facility that I can trust. I'm glad I came across Playful Platos Montessori - We really appreciate Ms. Nadia and Ms. Naima for taking excellent care for my kids. It's nice to know what the little ones are doing throughout the day from the app with pictures and details on their activities. All the teachers are very helpful and professional. Thank you for all that you do."

"The teachers are very caring, and provide a great curriculum for my preschooler. I feel assured every day my child is there that she is learning and in a safe environment. Due to COVID-19, we have to pack lunch daily but this is a minor inconvenience, and I'm very happy with the preschool. My child loves all the teachers and brings home at least one new discovery every day, some days even more. I'm so impressed with all the activities that they do and they are so varied that they focus not only on STEM learning but also language and the arts. Weekly, we get a detailed report from the certified Montessori teacher, Ms. Malik, and it really helps us re-enforce the learning over the weekend. Kudos to Playful Platos!"

"Our son has been going to Playful Platos for over a year. When I first went back to work after maternity leave, I was a mess. In the first few weeks I was able to come on my lunch break and nurse him, this meant so much to me as a new mom adjusting to being away from my baby. I trust them so much with him. He is now almost 16 months old and he gets so excited when we ask him if he wants to go to school in the morning! He wiggles with JOY when he sees his favorite teachers. To be honest though, every teacher he's worked with he loves. The pictures I get of him doing his daily activities like painting and doing Montessori work make my day knowing that he is learning and developing beyond what he gets to do at home. If I'm not the one with him, I know he's with someone who loves him and makes him happy and cares about his development. Any time I have had a concern or question regarding feeding or schedules or naps, they worked with me in order to help him adjust. I couldn't be more grateful."

"I cannot say enough about Playful Platos. My children are well cared for and treated like part of the family. The teachers have high expectations and hold students accountable, but are also compassionate and caring. I have seen my children grow both academically and socially during my time at Playful Platos. Thanks to the guidance and dedication of the teachers at Playful Platos, my daughter is already reading books and is able to write her name in cursive!"
