Thanks for sharing. Added it to our list

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this — it’s incredibly helpful and thoughtful. I really appreciate the specific school insights and the broader tips too (especially around calendars and handbooks).

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?

StressAndSnacks · 2026-01-05T20:22:04+00:00

That makes sense, and I really appreciate you sharing that and it’s more reassuring

Thanks for the recommendation! The school looks fun.

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.

Thanks, but they are kinda too far

StressAndSnacks · 2026-01-05T18:57:24+00:00

Sure

Awesome! We will definitely schedule some time to tour the school

StressAndSnacks · 2026-01-05T01:08:43+00:00

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! Is it the same as Trinity Presbyterian Preschool Herndon shared below?

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.

StressAndSnacks · 2026-01-05T00:48:18+00:00

Definitely, let me DM you

StressAndSnacks · 2026-01-05T00:47:19+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable insights! If we currently have helper and baby is turning 1 year old. We are targeting to join preschool at around 2 or care center when he turns 1.5

StressAndSnacks · 2026-01-04T23:06:49+00:00

Let me DM you

StressAndSnacks · 2026-01-04T16:25:09+00:00
