The Bethesda Montessori School

This place is a gem!  We moved to the neighborhood recently and toured a great number of schools before deciding on BMS. It&#39;s a very special place with caring certified Montessori teachers, French, art, and music classes, bright open classrooms with bonus rec room, stage, breakout rooms, a separate nap room. Our daughter LOVES going every day and the teachers do a wonderful job of nurturing her curiosity, confidence, and independence. The flexible hours and aftercare enrichment activities are helpful if you&#39;re juggling other kids&#39; schedules and work. We&#39;ve been so impressed and are so glad we happened upon this magical place!

As a father with a strong demeanor regarding education, I could not be happier with BMS.  Now, let&#39;s be honest, your child and mine will not finish pre-school as a rocket scientist.  However, he or she will learn basic math, use of a computer, a little French, self-awareness &amp; independence, and start learning how to read and write.  In fact, by age 4 most students can legibly write their name and count to 50+.  This is only possible due to the loving and nurturing way each teacher engages with each student to build a desire to learn.  I can&#39;t ask for anything better!<br><br>My daughter is currently finishing her second year and will return to finish out her 3rd year (Kindergarten).  I also intend to send my son once he is old enough for pre-school.<br><br>Also, the after school care is run by an incredible group of educators that have a tender heart for children, and the school provides &#34;extra classes&#34; ranging from soccor to martial arts to dance and yoga.
