A Christ-Centered Preschool & Daycare in Ashburn, Virginia

Nurturing little hearts and minds in the love of Christ and guiding children in the path they should follow. (Inspired by Proverbs 22:6)

Our Story

More Than a Daycare — a Community

Welcome to Guiding Light Christian Montessori, a Virginia-licensed child day center and Montessori-inspired preschool serving families in Ashburn and the surrounding Loudoun County community. We provide high-quality early childhood care and education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years in a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where children are encouraged to learn, explore, develop confidence, and grow.

Our approach is rooted in Faith, Truth, and Excellence. We strive to create an atmosphere of kindness, respect, compassion, curiosity, and love while helping children develop academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Our Montessori-inspired approach encourages children to learn through hands-on experiences, purposeful activities, sensory exploration, independence, and age-appropriate discovery.

We believe early childhood education is about much more than preparing children academically. It is about building character, developing confidence, encouraging curiosity, nurturing relationships, and helping children understand that they are deeply loved by God. From a baby’s earliest experiences through the preschool and Pre-K years, our teachers provide developmentally appropriate care and individualized attention designed around each child’s unique needs.

Our infant and toddler programs encourage secure relationships, sensory exploration, language development, movement, curiosity, and growing independence. Our preschool and Pre-K programs combine Montessori-inspired learning with structured and hands-on educational experiences that support literacy, mathematics, science, practical life, social-emotional development, STEM, coding, robotics, creative expression, and kindergarten readiness.

We’re more than a daycare — we’re a community where children are loved, supported, challenged, and guided during some of the most important years of their lives.
