Anyone with experience or thoughts on montessori schools in Bethesda, Potomac and silver spring?

We loved oneness family school near downtown Bethesda! Fantastic experience for our son. He was there from age 2.5 until 1st grade.

Another vote for Oneness-Family Montessori School! Both my kids attend and love it (even the DL was great!)

Fernwood used to be called Lone Oak Montessori. When we were looking for our children, we chose Manor Montessori over Lone Oak. We were very happy with Manor over a 9 year period.

The Montessori program at Woods is non-denominational.

I thought so too but my son attended this program and learned Catholic prayers including a religious twist to the pledge of allegiance and songs about Jesus. While the program might be advertised as non-denominational there is still religion interjected.
