[quote=Anonymous]When our children were pre-K, we used Julia Brown Montessori in Laurel.  The school is open 7am - 6pm.  The preschool classes are 8:30-11:15 or 12:15-3:00.  pre-k attend one Montessori session per day and then are in the daycare room or playground (weather permitting) the rest of the day.  They handle up to 3rd grade.  Kindergarten and up is 8:30-3:00 daily and then they can go to the daycare room until pickup.

We had our twins in this school for two years ages 3-4 years old and were very happy with it (I have responded on several of the Montessori threads about how much we liked the program).  One thing we liked is that it is a very friendly atmosphere.  The years we were there, we became friends with many of the families (most of whom live in the general Laurel and surrounding areas).  We all did birthday parties together so we saw these families about 10-12 times each year and the kids loved it.  Even after we left, we kept in touch with several of the families and we still see them periodically at events, like we often do the Easter Egg roll in Laurel together, we've met one of the families for fireworks on July 4th at Laurel Lakes and similar.  We also recommended the school to several families.  Two of the families sent their children there and also loved it.

They also have a branch in Silver Spring and one in Olney which might work better for you, but I don't know much about those locations other than the fact that Julia Brown and her two daughters (the managing director and the teaching director) all manage all four of their locations.  The two daughters travel around and typically spend 1-2 days per week at each school when possible.  The fourth location is in Columbia which is too far north for you.[/quote]
