Bethesda Country Day School - Bethesda, Maryland

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Bethesda Country Day School! After relocating to the area nearly a year ago, choosing BCDS for our son was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first visited, we were sold — the environment was warm, welcoming, and full of energy.

The teachers and staff are truly exceptional — attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring. Ms. Samantha in the front office always greets us with a smile (and often a hug for my son), setting the perfect tone for the day. We love stopping by the cafeteria each morning to chat and practice Spanish with Ms. Nurys, which has become a special part of our daily routine.

In the classroom, my son thrives under the leadership of Ms. Chandi and her amazing team. Their depth of experience and nurturing approach make such a positive impact. It’s clear that every staff member, from administration to teachers, is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and fun learning environment.

We are so grateful to be part of the BCDS family and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a school that truly puts children first!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bethesda Country Day School. From the very first day six years ago, the staff has made us feel like family. They provide an incredibly nurturing and safe environment where my children are not only cared for, but truly loved. The teachers and staff are attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about our kids and early childhood development!

The activities they plan are creative, educational, and fun — my kids are always excited to share what they learned each day. What makes BCDS even more special are the great events they organize. International Night is a yearly highlight, where families come together to celebrate different cultures, and the children learn about the world. The Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat events are some of our favorite fall activities.

Communication is excellent; we always feel informed and involved. The facility is clean, bright, and welcoming, and it’s clear they go above and beyond to maintain a safe space.

We go to work each day knowing my children are in the best possible hands. We are so grateful to have found such a caring community!

Highly recommend to any parent looking for exceptional childcare!

I had a positive experience with BCDS. My child attend this school for preschool and summer camp, about 3 years in total).

The kindergarten enrichment camp was extremely helpful.

The staff are well trained, professional, fair, and have good communication skills. They connect with parents well. I always knew about any issues and concerns with my child right away. The teachers are very capable and effective at managing the students needs. There are many opportunities for parents to attend school events like international night, muffins for mom, doughnuts for dad, etc.

The admin staff, principal, vice principal are a class act. They run a tight ship and manage the school well. I liked the healthy lunches, the daily reports, the learning provided to all the students, the summer camp field trips, and the various enrichment activities.

We are so grateful to have found Bethesda Country Day School for our daughter! She started in October after attending another school for 3.5 years, and the transition has been incredibly smooth. In the past few months, she has grown so much and is excited about learning every day. Her teachers, Mr. Jorge and Ms. Kayla, are exceptional, and we see how much they care for the children. The entire staff, especially Ms. Mila, Ms. Samantha, and Ms. Brittany, are warm and welcoming and make an effort to know each child personally. We also really appreciate the great communication from the administration, keeping us informed and engaged. Our daughter absolutely loves going to school every day and never wants to leave because of her wonderful friends, teachers, and the entire school community. It's such a relief knowing she's in such good hands!

We LOVE BCDS.
We can't say enough good things about Bethesda Country Day School. From the moment we joined the community, we’ve felt completely supported by the warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the teachers and staff. Our daughters are thriving here in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

One of our girls needed more of a challenge academically, while the other is on the quieter side initially and needed a bit more encouragement socially. The faculty (specifically, Ms Krissy, Ms Bushra, Ms Marilou, and Ms Samantha) met each of them exactly where they were and provided thoughtful, individualized support. Now both girls are excited to go to school every day—a parent’s dream!

We’re so grateful to be part of this incredible school community. BCDS is truly a special place.

We love BCDS! The teachers are loving and are committed to all of the students. When you walk down the hallways, every staff member greets the students by name. Additionally, Ms. Brittany the Assistant Principal is exceptional! Not only does she make wonderful connections with the students, but she is extremely helpful to parents with the administrative side. We have been at the school for 4 years and will truly miss it once we move onto elementary!

My child is really happy attending Bethesda Country Day School. The teachers are amazing, caring, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated. The whole staff goes above and beyond to create a positive environment. I am very thankful that my child thrives in this warm and supportive school community.

This is the best preschool in Bethesda! Our child is eager to come everyday, she loves the curriculum and her teachers in room 5- Misses Suzy, Myra and Bianca. The school has so many great additional programs such as ballet, soccer, karate and tennis. The class sizes are small and the rooms are organized. They have a plan every day for the children and you can tell it’s focused on promoting their education while also being fun for the kids. I wouldn’t hesitate to send other children to this school.
