🚀 The Countdown is ON! 24 Hours to reach our goal! 🚀

We are feeling the love! A massive thank you to our incredible community for helping us rebuild our Google presence. We are so close to hitting our goal of 20 reviews before our 2026-2027 Early Bird Applications open on Wed., Jan. 21!

If you haven’t had a chance to stop by our "digital front door" yet, we would love your help in reaching the finish line. It takes less than a minute to share your experience and helps new families find our authentic Montessori preschool in Alexandria.

We are so grateful to everyone who has shared stories about our:
✨ Spanish enrichment

Thank you for helping us stay visible for the next generation of world changers! 🌍✨

🎈 We’re celebrating a major milestone this week and now have a goal of 20 Google Reviews by Tuesday, Jan 20th! 🚀

After nearly a year of being "digitally invisible" due to a technical glitch on Google, Montesshare is officially back on the map - that's something to celebrate!

While we lost our all of our historical Google reviews in the process, we aren't letting that slow us down. Since 2017, we have had the honor of serving families in Alexandria, and now we’re on a mission to rebuild our "digital front door" before Early Bird Applications open on Jan. 21.

Our Goal: 20 Google Reviews by Tuesday, Jan 20th! 🚀

If you are part of our community in any way, would you help us spread the word?

It takes less than 60 seconds to help other families find our little "hidden gem."

❄️ Happy (belated) holidays from Montesshare!!

What a beautiful day celebrating our incredible founder and director, Ms. Wilder, last Friday! 🎂

We gathered on the rug as a classroom family to shower her with appreciation. The children were so excited to present their handmade cards and the thoughtful gifts that the teachers helped coordinate.

She received three sets of beautiful earrings, including a very special set modeled after the iconic Pink Tower! What a perfect, thoughtful nod to our Montessori classroom.

Every moment, from the quiet circle time to the big group picture, was filled with love and gratitude.

Thank you, Ms. Wilder, for everything you do!
We are so lucky to have your leadership.

☕️ Beyond the Classroom Door: Our Beloved Coffee Friday Tradition!

At Montesshare, we believe community is key to growing world-changers! That’s why we host Coffee Friday several times a year. ✨

This is where a parent (or uncle, or grandma!) gets to step right into the heart of the prepared environment for the first 30 minutes of class.

It’s more than just a coffee break—it's a time for:

• A quiet observation of the purposeful work happening.

• Shared smiles as a child proudly finishes a task.

• Strengthening the triangle of child, parent, and teacher.

It's truly a unique and cherished part of the Montesshare experience, and we are so grateful for our engaged families!

🎃 From Thomas the Train to Very Hungry Caterpillars and llamas, our little world changers celebrated Halloween in true Montessori style — as storybook characters! 📖✨

Each child proudly brought their book to share, turning our classroom into a joyful celebration of reading, imagination, and community. 💛
