We do need preschool plus aftercare (9am - 5:30pm). Any comments on these, or suggestions for others we should look at?
Academy Child Development Center at DuFief ES
Georgetown Hill
Franklin Montessori Rockville
Primary Montessori Day School
possibly Chesterbook Academy Gaithersburg (across from Rachel Carson ES) but it's a bit far
(I am not interested in Goddard, KinderCare, or Children's Manor Montessori.)
Thank you!
OP: curious why you are not interested in the 3 schools you mentioned). We did a tour at Children in the Shoe and it is play-based curriculum. Seems solid except that I didn't like that it's part of an office building and the playground is part of a parking lot. It's closed off but there isn't a whole lot of space.
