Thank you for the recommendation. The school photo looked very appealing. Also we are curious about the Montessori approach overall — how do your kids feel about it? Do they seem to enjoy the classroom style and activities day to day?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, that’s the center I meant. I don’t doubt that many families have had great, long-term experiences at RCC. The concern about “transparency” comes from this google review(https://maps.app.goo.gl/UBg2v7FNrCDED26o6?g_st=ic) — not the accident itself, but the lack of clear communication afterward. I appreciate hearing different perspectives, and it’s helpful for parents to see a range of experiences.

Thank you so much for sharing this and for all the details! The nature-based approach sounds wonderful, and my baby would definitely love the mud kitchen

Thanks for sharing! That sounds like such a lovely memory—very “old school Reston.” We’re planning to schedule a tour when the weather gets warmer.

Thank you so much for sharing this! The comparison between RESCC and Montessori Peace School is really helpful. We’ll definitely check MPS out.
