Schools in Bethesda, MD

“My 2 yr old daughter has been at Bethesda Goddard for 8 months now, and we couldn't be happier. The teachers welcome her every morning with smiles and engaging activities- they are all incredible! They balance the studies and play perfectly, and I feel she has grown tremendously over the time she has been at Goddard.From music to language lessons during the school year, and so many fun activities over the summer (petting zoo, magician, etc), she is always expanding her world because of the care and planning from the teachers as well as the school staff! We are so grateful to be a part of the Goddard community!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AWESOME SCHOOL!”

“We are so appreciative of the wonderful care that Lily Pads has provided. Their staff is caring, empathetic, fun, and so loving with our child and all of the little ones that attend. When I drop her off I do not worry about anything; I know she is having a great time with her friends and she is in the presence of delightful adults that have a tender heart for kids. Not to mention Lily Pads is open on time (I have never had to wait to drop her off at 7:30am) and is always available in the evening until 6pm for a late pick up. A special thank you to Ms. Manal, Ms. Vilma, Ms. Genet, and Ms. Aydee :) Thank you Lily Pads!!!”

“We used this center for back up care this week, and it was perfect for our needs! Ease of drop off and pick up, caring teachers who know how to settle a child in a new environment, and comprehensive end of day report with pictures. We'll absolutely be using this center again for back up care. To the teachers and staff: big thank you from this mamma.”

“Our daughter, Abigail (Abby), has loved Primrose and we are incredibly grateful that we found them initially for backup care when our in-home daycare very unexpectedly closed. The team at Primrose welcomed Abby with open arms and has shown her so much love, and she has definitely learned a ton (academically, socially and emotionally) and made great friends within her class. The daily updates that the school provides via the Procare app are fantastic and it's really cool to feel like we are going to school with Abby! We have never had any questions or concerns about her safety and when she has experienced a minor bump/bruise, the Primrose team has proactively alerted us. Overall, we have had a tremendous experience - while the cost is higher than some other local childcare providers, it is 100% worth it in my view.”

“Spring Valley Montessori Academy is regarded as a great preschool and I agree with 5 stars. The facility offers lots of space. Children and parents love it because of the dedicated staff. It is the perfect introduction for preschool children since they can choose to attend 2, 3 or 5 mornings. It has lots of creative ideas along with the Montessori work. Love it!”

“We are so grateful for the care our child (now in preK at Wonders) has received at Wonders since 1 year of age. From the start, his professional, caring teachers learned about our child and family, and have always helped our child to adapt and develop in his learning environment. We feel confident that our child is safe and have been pleased with the COVID precautions. We are always informed about what our child is learning in school and see the progress he’s making on a day-to-day basis. The school retains teachers by paying at the top of the market, which is invaluable, and we think that this is the most valuable aspect of the care provided. We feel so grateful to have found a second home at Wonders and know that it is absolutely top notch.”

“We love RSCC, and have from day one. Our son started there at 4 months old, and is now three. He's on his fifth classroom and set of teachers now, and I can echo what others have said here--the teachers are wonderful, and many of them have been there for years. They are communicative, sweet, and attentive. The administration is the same. The field trips in the summer and weekend drop-offs are fantastic too. There's a lot of parental involvement too. Can't say enough good things about this place!”
