VMA 2025 Annual Conference
Save the Date for our 10th Annual Conference:
October 18th, 2025!
Let's celebrate 10 years of uniting and advancing our regional Montessori community. Join us in Manassas, VA for a full day of celebrations, professional development, and networking.
WHO ARE WE?
The Virginia Montessori Association is a non-profit 501(c)3 that was established in 2015 to bring Montessorians in Virginia together and to offer a community from which we all could benefit. Administrators, educators, parents and other supporters can connect, inform and communicate in a way that is of value to all.


WHAT IS MONTESSORI?
Montessori is a constructivist educational philosophy that recognizes each child as a unique individual with their own learning style and potential. Montessori schools offer a holistic approach to learning that empowers children to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, this educational approach is grounded in fostering independence, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.
WHAT'S NEW?
We are so excited to welcome two new members to our volunteer Board of Directors: Megan Kain and Mariana Vicéns.
