Our commitment to hands-on Montessori materials empowers our private preschool students to explore and learn through tactile experiences, fostering a deep understanding of foundational concepts. By merging these time-tested methods with a forward-looking STEAM approach, we prepare our students for a dynamic future where creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills are paramount.

PROGRAMS WE OFFER:

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

A wealth of experiences is key to helping learners prepare for the future. That’s why, at our private preschool in Ashburn, learning goes far beyond academics.

Our teachers understand that, in early childhood, growth and development are holistic. Developing a toddler’s fine motor skills during cooking and gardening helps turn them into a writer. A preschooler who engages their trunk and core during bowling and gym can sit up and engage in instruction without tiring. Every experience builds stamina, extends attention spans, and helps young children prepare their minds and bodies for the academic journey to come.

Below are just a few of the extra-curricular offerings you’ll find at Karter School of One Loudoun, from theater, dance, and dramatic play to science, media, and library skills.
