Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“My son has been going here for over a year, and he loves it and so do I. The teachers and principal are great. They truly love and care about my son, and they are excellent educators. The school has so many activities throughout the week, like yoga, Zumba, piano classes and art. My son also has multiple food allergies. The teachers and principal have worked with me to keep him safe. They are knowledgeable on the matter, and I’m very confident they will take care of him like I would.” – Patricia C.

Not Your Average School

We sat down with Kaltun Jama, the School Director of Montessori School of Chantilly, to find out what sets them apart. Here’s what she had to say:

“We love what we do and prove that every day by showing results of happy, empowered and curious children who are constantly placed in advanced programs in their prospective elementary schools. Our kindergartens are reading, writing simple sentences and doing first grade math with ease. Some of them are able to start second grade work without stepping into a first grade class. We also invest money in our students by providing enrichment classes, like yoga, music and movement, art, sports, dance, STEM, Spanish, French and basic Sign Language classes.”

According to Kaltun, the students and their parents love Montessori School, but the staff who work there love it, too, and they are invested in the mission and love the school’s success:

“I would encourage any business wanting to be the best to make an honest effort in making the employees feel part of the decision and progress. Our staff are the backbone of our school, and we take every opportunity to show them their value, and that in turn, makes them do what they do with passion.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at the Montessori School of Chantilly and how they work to make the world a better place. Kaltun shared this with us:

“We believe that children are the leaders of tomorrow, and our aim is to graduate children who are compassionate, highly interested in learning and growing, flexible and creative. We know that children take cues from their environment, and so we model good behavior by showing grace, love and commitment to growth. We surround our students with good, mature educators who take pride in their work. We encourage our students to lead, to donate, to write cards to our men/women in uniform and, most importantly, we encourage them to solve problems so they can lead on their own.”

Building Success Through Service

Kaltun credits Montessori School’s strong online reputation to their commitment to service:

“We go above and beyond for our children and their families, and our commitment to putting them first is why they take the time to speak highly of us.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, referrals from happy parents have been the main source of growth at the Montessori School of Chantilly. In fact, the parents of Montessori students are so involved that they help with events, planning, trips and decision making — Kaltun sees their input as critical to the school’s success.

There are so many business owners out there working to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Kaltun’s expert advice for those business owners:

“Provide and strive for the best service possible. The review and rating will follow.”


Congratulations to the team at Montessori School of Chantilly for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much Kaltun, for taking the time to speak with us!
