“Our family has had a wonderful experience at Starling Montessori School during these past few months. From day one, the nurturing and respectful environment helped our child feel safe, curious, and excited to learn. The teacher and assistants are caring and attentive and foster a strong sense of independence and confidence in our child. We feel lucky to have found a strong partner educating our child, especially during our difficult transition relocating from abroad and several intricacies, including a change of language and a new baby sibling. We’ve seen incredible academic and social growth in our child, and we’re so grateful to be part of this vibrant, thoughtful community. Starling Montessori has exceeded our expectations in every way!”

A truly exceptional Montessori preschool in DC! Our son started at Starling Montessori when he was just 18 months old, and now, at 2½, he absolutely loves going to school each day. From the very beginning, we've been impressed with the warmth, professionalism, and deep Montessori expertise of the entire teaching team. The environment is calm, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed to foster independence, curiosity, and joy in learning. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our son’s social skills, confidence, and engagement with Montessori materials. The low student-to-teacher ratio and individualized attention make such a difference, and the commitment to authentic Montessori education shines through in everything they do. We are incredibly grateful to have found this gem in the heart of DC and recommend it wholeheartedly to any family seeking a true Montessori start for their little one.
