A Warm, Confident Start for Your Toddler that Feels Like Home
A nurturing, calm Montessori toddler community in Arlington led by a trained Guide with an expertise in child development.
Choosing your child's first school is deeply personal. You want safety, warmth, intention and people who truly understand human development.
The Foundation Years Matter
The toddler years are a time of rapid language and physical development, emerging independence, and emotional growth.
At Full Circle Montessori School, every decision is guided by one question:
What is in the best interest of the child?
Our teachers, we call Guides, create intentionally prepared environments and routines where toddlers feel secure, capable, and deeply known.
FCMS Guides partner closely with parents to ensure their child is seen as an individual, supported, and confident in their earliest school years.

Parent Testimonial
“We are so grateful for the experience our toddler has had at FCMS. From the teachers to the director, everyone is truly involved, caring, and passionate (it genuinely feels like a family).
There is a strong sense of partnership with the parents…..It’s more than a school; it’s a community, and we feel very lucky to be part of it here in Arlington.”
