​Leah Stanton

Director

I am honored to serve as the Director of Hunters Woods Preschool. This is a very special community of families, and the connections and friendships that you and your children make here will last long after your time with us ends. My own two children, now teenagers, are proud alumni of HWPS. It was a supportive, gentle, fun, and engaging start to their educational journey. As a parent, I have experienced firsthand the benefits of this school in helping children develop the essential skills they need to succeed in school and in life.

I have lived in Reston for more than 20 years, and I am deeply committed to the community and the success of its youngest learners. I have worn many professional hats throughout the years -- as a social worker, professional organizer, personal coach, and small business owner. As the Director of HWPS, I work to foster positive relationships with families and ensure effective and open communication. I take great pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment where all families feel comfortable and supported.
