Villa Montessori Preschool Leesburg has based its curricula on the Montessori method, which was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. This is vastly different from the usual method of teaching in that while lessons are also provided, the children are given the freedom to discover for themselves the answers to questions that they have find interesting. To enhance the teaching of preschool students further, they have also integrated the Reggio Emilia method into their curricula for early childhood education. The Reggio method is designed to enhance the critical thinking skills of the children. Using such critical thinking skills, the children are able to come with the appropriate questions that they have to ask in order to learn certain principles. In the traditional method of teaching, these principles are simply dictated to the children and the kids are asked to memorize them. With the Reggio method, the preschool kids are able to hone their creativity and critical thinking skills as they come up with the right questions.

At the Villa Montessori Preschool Leesburg, the preschool teachers do not simply deliver a lecture to the students. They act as guides for the young kids in their adventure of discovering certain facts for themselves. To do this, they show to the children various educational materials that are designed to arouse their curiosity regarding certain subjects and when each kid finds a particular topic interesting, he or she can embark on a journey of discovery of various facts regarding that topic. While lessons are also provided, it is the goal of the teachers to guide the children in using the self-correcting and auto-didactic materials that have been placed in the Montessori classroom so that the children may experience the joy of self-discovery. This is the basic principle of the Montessori method because Dr. Montessori had discovered that young kids naturally want to learn about their environment. Thus, the Montessori classroom is designed to allow the children to discover information by themselves.
Meanwhile, with the Reggio method, the teachers act as co-learners and collaborators with the young kids. Their purpose is to discover what are the specific interests of each particular child and then encourage the children to explore their interests. In this method, the classroom environment also functions as a teacher because its shelves are filled with hands-on projects that the children can pursue to further explore their interests.
