Welcome -- to our 25th year in operation!
The Bethesda Montessori School cooperates with the Washington Montessori Institute and is staffed by AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) trained teachers. It is fully approved by the Maryland State Department of Education and is a member of the North American Montessori Teachers Association and other educational organizations. It leases its facility from the Bethesda Presbyterian Church, but it has no religious affiliation with the church or its teachings. It is centrally located in the heart of the Bethesda business district on Wilson Lane near the intersection of Old Georgetown and Arlington Roads, convenient to public transportation. A traditional Montessori school, it adheres to the teachings and principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. The school is fully equipped with the Montessori materials as well as many handmade items to stimulate the child's mind and creativity. Its rooms are bright and cheerful. Its staff is dedicated and caring. It is the hope of the school that each student will grow in knowledge, self-reliance, confidence and social graces. At a Glance 1. The primary Montessori program admits children from 3 to 6 years of age (children must be 3 by September 1 of their start year, and fully potty-trained).

Children are strongly encouraged to complete the cycle through their kindergarten year in order to derive the maximum benefit from their learning experience. 2.

Prekindergarten-age children have the option of attending a special afternoon program from 12 noon to 3 p.m. Children entering their kindergarten year have advanced Montessori studies until 3 p.m. 3. An after-school program is offered until 6 p.m. Before-school care is available from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. upon request. 4.
