Our School

A bilingual English and Spanish Montessori program where children 16 month - 6 years of age develop a love of learning. 

Kids World is dedicated to the Montessori philosophy and method of teaching and learning. The Montessori teaching method was designed and created by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician, and visionary educator.

Story & Culture

Founded in 1996 as a family-owned daycare, Kids World has grown significantly over the past two decades, embracing the Montessori philosophy and integrating Spanish immersion into our curriculum. We cherish Montessori’s commitment to nurturing each child’s development in a peaceful, supportive environment. In 2020, we expanded to a new location in Falls Church, VA, transforming the space into a vibrant learning community with the help of dedicated parents who volunteered to paint walls and build classrooms during the pandemic.

Today, Kids World Montessori serves over 50 students, a significant increase from its original 12 and opening their second location in Spring of 2025. 

Our success is built on deep family involvement, cultural appreciation, and strong connections with parents, maintained through regular events and open communication.

Philosophy and Educational Method

At Kids World, we are committed to the Montessori philosophy and teaching method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and pioneering educator. This approach is founded on observing children’s development, interests, needs, and unique characteristics. We provide an enriching and serene environment that allows each child to learn and grow at their own pace, aligned with their individual needs, interests, and abilities.

By partnering with children and their families, we cultivate a love of learning, respect for others, self-discipline, and intrinsic motivation. Our Montessori method ensures that every child thrives in a supportive setting, fostering their natural curiosity and encouraging their holistic development.

We aim to offer your child an exceptional educational experience, ensure effective communication with you, and create a warm and inviting school community for your family. We are delighted to have you here!
