Beverly Farms At Ivymount, Potomac

This place is a HIDDEN GEM among local preschools! As a former kindergarten teacher and a parent to multiple kiddos (who's also moved a lot!), we've been through a number of programs (some great, some not-so-great) and this one is definitely one of the best: professionally run by kind, conscientious people who have deep expertise in child development *and* effectively running a great organization. Here are some of the things that we love: • Creative and nurturing teachers who genuinely care about our kiddos with very low staff turnover. • Excellent written and verbal communication about our child's progress (and they are super responsive!). • A play-based curriculum where our child learns so much AND LOVES school. (The fact that many public and private school teachers have their kids in this program is an indicator of the quality of their educational programming.) • Flexible support/partnering for potty training. • Creative art projects (where every kid's project doesn't look like some cookie cutter impression of what it *should* look like). They also have very flexible hours, limited days where they are closed, and are competitively priced. Can't say enough great things about this place and highly recommend!
