Loudoun Montessori School celebrated their Grand Opening with official Ribbon Cutting and Open House on August 11th

Loudoun Montessori School opened its doors to the community with a Grand Opening Celebration on Thursday, August 11 starting with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 4:30pm followed by an Open House where their beautiful brand new Montessori school with its hand crafted furniture and materials was open for touring. Vice Chairman and Ashburn District Supervisor, Ralph Buona, Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Tony Howard, and Loudoun Economic Development Business Retention Manager, Chris Hunter, attended and took part in the ribbon cutting.

“I was proud to represent the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce at Loudoun Montessori School’s Grand Opening and Ribbon cutting,” Tony Howard said. “It was a great event and I was glad that I had the chance to formally welcome them into our community. They’ve been working very diligently to get their school up and running and all of their hard work has truly paid off.”

Ms. Renu Mohan and Ms. Aida Villar are co-owners of Loudoun Montessori and both have extensive backgrounds in Montessori education including certifications from the Northern Virginia Montessori Institute. School Director Ms. Renu Mohan, has over 15 years of experience as a lead Montessori teacher. Lead teacher, Ms. Aida Villar, has over 10 years of teaching experience as a daycare owner, Spanish teacher and art teacher. Ms. Mohan is not only a Montessori educator, but a Montessori mom as well.

“I’ve had my fair share of experience with Montessori education. Being a Montessori parent myself is helpful as well because I can relate to the parents and I know that we both want the best for their children,” Ms. Mohan said. “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time and I cannot wait for this upcoming school year.”

The Montessori educational philosophy is a popular and much sought after alternative to traditional pre-school and elementary school education throughout the world. Founded by Maria Montessori, the school relies heavily on hands-on activities and student independence beginning at an early age.

Loudoun Montessori prides itself on programs tailor made for all needs. These programs focus on six different categories, essential for child development that include, the practical life, sensorial materials, language, mathematics, science, and history and geography.

“My business partner, Ms. Renu Mohan and I decided to open our Montessori school in Loudoun because we knew that with its immense size, we would have the opportunity to work with many different types of children. I am very excited to utilize my Montessori knowledge and influence the children of our area.” Ms. Aida Villar said.

Loudoun Montessori promises to be an asset to the community by offering not only private Montessori schooling, but STEM based after school programs and summer camps as well. Aside from STEM, they offer ballet, Bollywood dance and martial arts as extracurricular activities. Another aspect that sets them apart is their everyday Spanish and Yoga classes that are included in their curriculum. Loudoun Montessori is also conveniently located next to Discovery Elementary School. More information can also be found on their website, www.loudounmontessori.com.
