The Montessori School of Washington (MSOW) is a small, nurturing environment for children aged two to six. Its curriculum is based on Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy. MSOW aims to introduce children to the joy of learning at an early age and assists the child in creating an inner order. This self-discipline becomes the basis of freedom, within a framework, for children to learn through their senses according to their growth timetable and level of interest. By achieving continuous success in learning experiences, the child will develop self-confidence and competence, which will carry into maturity. When children acquire self-mastery and self-respect, they then respect others. TUITION ASSISTANCE INFORMATION - MSOW is committed to broadening access for families who might otherwise not be able to afford a high-quality Montessori preschool experience. For this reason, MSOW pledges to set aside at least 25% of all open slots for families eligible for the subsidized childcare/voucher program. MSOW is listed in the My Child Care DC directory under our business name, “The Montessori School of Washington.” To support our military families, we continue to receive fee assistance payments from Child Care Aware and the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN)

Maggie C. says "I'm happy to recommend MSOW. My child attended school there from age 2-5 and we had a great experience. The school is warm, loving and focused on the...
