Meet Our Leaders
A Letter from The Founder
Dear Parent,
My name is Dimple Jain, and I have the esteemed honor of being the owner of Herndon Montessori School. My passion for education began well before owning a school or learning about the Montessori method. Education has been the only profession that I have ever known, and it’s one that I wouldn’t trade for anything else. I have taught pre-school and school-aged children for over 25 years, and still have so much to learn myself.
As a parent myself, I understand how precious these early years are. My hope is that our preschool becomes a second home for your child—a place where they feel loved, cared for, and encouraged to shine in their own beautiful way.
So, if you’re interested in our little corner of the world, or you have any questions, please reach out to us! I would love to meet you and your child, talk about our holistic child development philosophy and give everyone a tour of our facility. Until then, keep an eye out on our social media for a glimpse in the life of our students!
Message From School Head
Dear Families,
My name is Janine, and I am excited to continue growing the many relationships I have with all the families and children during this transitional period. Welcome to Herndon Montessori School!
I have worked in education a majority of my life by leading six schools and working specifically with military families. I have a focused interest in literacy, policy & advocacy, and have received a Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant in the past. I am passionate about providing high-quality early education and care and believe in Montessori education philosophy.
As a mom and grandmother, I know how important a safe and nurturing environment is, and, with this in mind, I ensure that there is open communication and an established partnership with parents and guardians to promote success in each child’s future.
Join us on this exciting journey as we cultivate the next generation of compassionate, confident, and capable leaders. I would love to give a tour of a beautiful facility and discuss how best we can help meet your family’s needs. I look forward to meeting you soon!
All the best,
Janine Fetters, Head of School
