Ms. Hana took COVID safety very seriously and took all the measures to make sure that the learning environment was also a safe place as well which was also a top priority for us. It was going to be his first time in a structured school setting so I really appreciated the smaller class size and student to teacher ratio because I felt like he was able to receive a more individualized curriculum and he was met at his academic level. When my son first started, he had very basic knowledge of his letters and sounds, but now we are almost to the end of our first year and he is reading simple sentences. He comes home excited to tell me what he has learned and about all his friends at school! I am so impressed with how much he has learned and grown thanks to Ms. Hana. Although we will be moving on next year to kindergarten, we are so happy that our son was able to get a good foundation for this upcoming school year!

My daughter has grown so much during her time here into very sweet, talkative, helpful. Ms. Hana plans thoughtful activities for the kids all the time and is a very responsive director.

I love that this school is smaller which affords the kids more personalized care as well as bring a "family like" feeling between parents, teachers, and children. My most favorite part is, I really enjoy receiving a art works, worksheets, home report and occasional pictures of my child. We have been very happy at MMPS. It is a gem of a school within affluent North Potomac/Rockville with still very reasonable rates relative to other preschool.

But the Sandy Ridge staff was INCREDIBLE in helping me feel confident that my daughter was receiving the care she needed regarding cleanliness and then later on assisting so nicely in our potty training journey. All of the staff genuinely love each student and work closely with the parents if there are ever any issues. My daughter had a lot of trouble adjusting to school, and it really felt like the teachers, assistants, and other aids all came together to help my daughter feel included and cared for. Her teacher, Ms. Eileen, would help me come up with good ideas to help her get comfortable with school. They also helped ease my anxiety by sending pictures with updates on her progress. Also, my daughter absolutely loved the class assistant, Ms. Baba, who was so gentle and kind with her. The teachers work together in cohesion and many of the teachers from the other classes, like Ms. Nina and Ms. Evelyn, were still very involved in the development and well being of all the students, even if they weren't their own. I especially appreciated the consistent parent/teacher meetings after receiving quarterly report cards, because it helped me see what actual areas of learning my daughter excelled in, enjoyed, or needed extra support in. Ms. Eileen would give me ideas to better those areas, which helped me supplement this learning at home. Their system is very organized and responsive. Overall, Sandy Ridge is a truly wonderful and fun school, full of excitement, learning, parent/teacher collaboration, understanding, ingenuity, and most important of all, trust - I would recommend to all my friends.

We also adore Ms. Clara and the other teaching aids. They are all wonderful with kids and model kindness, patience, and respect for others.

We also appreciate that Norwood Park Preschool has plenty of opportunities for parent involvement, with lots of flexibility for working parents whose time is limited. We are happy to have another year left with our middle child, and three years at Norwood with our youngest. This is a school that honors the fleeting, precious nature of childhood - kids can play, learn, and grow out in nature and among new, diverse friends. It is a gem of a school and we feel very blessed to have found it!

What a magical place to send a preschooler. The teachers are nurturing, kind, innovative, creative, and fun. They bring enthusiasm to the children every single day with a curriculum that teaches through play. The teachers have a deep understanding and appreciation of the age group they are working with. BCC Nursery School is a parent run cooperative preschool where parents have such a rare opportunity to participate in their child's foundation of learning. The small community is made up of parents and teachers that respect and encourage children. This philosophy is fostered through the teachers--they care so much about the individual development of each child. Children are kindergarten ready in ways of socialization and basic academics. The school is set in beautiful Norwood park and the teachers take full advantage of incorporating the green space into the curriculum. Observing the changes of the seasons, exploring bugs, marking shadows to determine how the sun moves around the earth--wow--and so much more. The kids spend loads of time outside. Each day begins outside with more time outdoors midday during recess. The teachers at BCC Nursery School have created a wonderful and meaningful learning experience that my children and our family will always cherish.

Choosing the right preschool for our twins was a daunting task since we wanted nothing but the best for their first official school. We visited all the well-known preschools in the area but none of them gave us that "this is it" feeling. Our friend recommended Children's House at Holly Hill Montessori and believe me, I had my reservations when I heard it was set up in the teacher's home but I went for a meet and greet anyways. It was the best decision we could have made and all our preconceptions went out the window as soon as we stepped in. Every nook and cranny of the school was a functional space, purposefully designed to cater to the needs of the little ones. And here's the kicker: despite the bustling activity of energetic preschoolers, the school exuded a serene atmosphere that could only be explained by witchcraft. Not a single moment of chaos or tears to be found! However, the true gem of Children's House is none other than the remarkable Ms. Toni. She embodies everything a parent could dream of in a teacher, especially for young children. With her patience, kindness, and genuine care, she creates an environment that feels like a warm hug. Her infectious smile and unwavering passion for teaching are evident in every interaction. We left our twins in her capable hands, knowing they were in the best possible care. Our twins initially struggled with a speech delay, but thanks to Ms. Toni's exceptional skills, they quickly caught up with their peers. She has a remarkable knack for teaching, seamlessly integrating academics with invaluable life and social skills. And as an added bonus, she provides a hot lunch every day, which was incredibly helpful for us as busy parents. Ms. Toni has laid a solid foundation for our twins, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in elementary school. We will forever be grateful for the immeasurable impact she has had on their development. It's without a doubt that she is the best teacher they have encountered on their educational journey thus far. Our only regret is that the pandemic prevented us from staying with her longer. We wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Toni and Children's House at Holly Hill Montessori to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching preschool experience. She has consistently demonstrated her unwavering dedication to the children's best interests, leaving a lasting mark on their lives. Without a doubt, she receives our highest recommendation, and we would choose her over and over again.

We were impressed with how he embraced a love for learning, developed confidence across all subjects, and benefited from the incredible social-emotional support that is embedded throughout the school's culture. Every teaching team has provided unique insights into our sons' learning styles and supported their very different personalities and learning styles. Outplacement after 5th was great.

We located from Colorado for this school when our son was born profoundly deaf and received cochlear implants at age 1. Our son has constant access to sound with the support from The River School. He gets listening checks daily and with audiology on site if we ever have a problem it gets addressed right away. There is a master's level speech language pathologist in each class. You would never know my son was born with a profound hearing loss because his speech and hearing are better than most kids his age.
