Montessori
Come discover the magic of a Montessori education! We are a YEAR ROUND, full-day Montessori school for ages 18 months through 6th grade. Our internationally recognized Montessori Program embraces nature and the individualized curriculum is designed to match your child's personal development and potential! Albemarle Montessori is a warm, friendly school designed to enrich your child’s whole being. Our Montessori classrooms are beautifully prepared environments designed to meet the needs and development of your child at each age level. Every material in the classroom supports an aspect of child development, creating a link between your child’s natural interests to the classroom work. Your child will be able to learn through their own experience and at their own pace. This educational approach was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori and provides for a deeper understanding of language, mathematics, science, geography, history, music, art, social interactions, and so much more! Montessori is one of the fastest growing forms of education in this country, and we adhere to the highest Montessori standards at AMCC. We are the only AMI-recognized school in Central Virginia, with classrooms for varying age groups. Our Toddler/Pre-Primary Program has eighteen-month-olds to three-year-olds, and lays a foundation for independence and an introduction to practical life. Our Primary Classes are for ages three through six, and offers a three year long comprehensive Montessori program that will successfully bring your child through his or her Kindergarten year. Our Elementary Program has first through sixth graders and promotes exploration, collaborative work, research projects, gregarious and independent lessons, and interactive discovery in every subject. Recent research in child development and education highlights the quality of the Montessori method for educating children and the life-long benefits they gain. The children develop critical-thinking skills, self-confidence, self-initiative, and emotional intelligence. The end result is that your child is prepared academically, socially, and emotionally with a deeper understanding of the concepts and theories that are the foundation of a quality education – all while retaining a love of learning and the acquisition of knowledge! Our founder, envisioned Albemarle Montessori Children's Community to be a school that made the highest quality Montessori education available for the everyday working family. All of us at AMCC are proud to be a part of this sweet Community and would love to show you and your family what makes our school so special. We would be happy to schedule you for a tour, so that you can see all that our Montessori Community has to offer your child!

Since ASAPSitters, LLC launched in 2008, we have provided babysitters for over 1,000 families in the Northern Viginia, DC and Charlottesville. Many of our new clients are referred by families that are already a part of the &quot;ASAPSitters family&quot; - folks already using our experienced and reliable babysitters. We believe this is a true testament to the quality of our babysitters and service! We take great pride in being able to match families up with trustworthy, creative, and dependable babysitters. As a mom myself, I would settle for nothing less. As a locally based service, we interview all of our babysitters during a very thorough screening process. We are also privileged to connect directly with local families who join ASAPS - and maintain a relationship with both our babysitters and families on an ongoing basis. We're very exited about how ASAPSitters has continued to grow and how we are a little part of that &quot;village&quot; it takes to raise a child. We are working on expanding our services to meet the needs of families in other nearby areas. In 2012, we opened a new branch in Charlottesville, VA in addition to our DC Metro area region. And in 2015, we opened our Richmond area branch. We hope to grow to serve more wonderful families in the near future!
