Bethesda Country Day School

"We have been very happy with BCDS. This is our second year here and our son now has Ms Zulfa and Ms Julia, both of which are so caring and loving. I’m so impressed with everything they are doing with the children in the classroom and how much he is learning! Last year, he had Ms Karen and Ms Phenella, who we adored as well. My only wish is for prices to be a bit more affordable, but other than that factor, we are very pleased with our experience at BCDS."

"Both of our kids have attended BCDS and we absolutely love it! We stumbled across BCDS during the height of the pandemic and were not planning to stay longer than one summer. However, both of our kids love it so much (as do we) that we have now been at the school for 3+ years. The school is clean and so welcoming (to both families and the children). They are so flexible with their hours and always open, even when MCPS is closed. We enjoy the front office staff - always so helpful! We have to mention we love Ms. Samantha! She was our son's summer camp teacher during COVID and she's honestly been part of our family ever since. She is now our daughter's teacher and it so helpful to our family. Not only does Ms. Samantha get the kids prepared for Kindergarten but she prepares them for LIFE - teaching them how to be independent, how to be self sufficient, raises their confidence, teaches them manners, how to be respectful, teaches the kids life skills that will always be part of them. We are so grateful for the BCDS community!"

"I've had two children go through BCDS. They both had Ms. Zulfa, a very caring, gentle, and warm person. They learned so much from her and the teachers at this school. It's a great balance of learning and fun. I have referred many friends and neighbors to BCDS. They have very little turnover (a few of the teachers have been there for decades) so you know the teachers are happy. Happy teachers means happy students! I dare anyone to locate a bored child in this building."

"I can't say enough great things about BCDS. The administrators and teachers are top-notch. They truly care about the development and well-being of each and every student. My child runs in to school every day excited because of the warm and loving environment BCDS has created."

"My girls loved the school and all the teachers that have cared for them at BCDS! Everyone is so loving, welcoming and caring! Lots of fun activities planned each day and very FEW holidays which made life so much easier for parents! Ms Lorena and Ms Nicole who cared for the beginner’s class last year made the first year of daycare as best as it could be!"
