Primary Montessori Day School 14138 Travilah Road, Rockville, MD 20850

"We had both our son's at Primary Montessori Day School in the primary classes as well as the elementary class. This year we are sending our daughter. Our experience at Primary Montessori has been excellent ! The school provides a safe and secure environment for all the children. Primary Montessori has instilled the love of learning in my children. Academically I have seen my son's excel under the guidance of the teachers. My sons loved going to this school and I look forward to many positive experiences for my daughter. The teachers are caring and nurturing. They very quickly identify a child strengths and weaknesses and provide guidance for both academics as well as social development. The beautiful and clean classrooms provide a very comfortable learning space. I highly recommend this school to parents who want their children to learn at a Montessori school."

"My youngest daughter has been with the Primary Montessori Day School since she was two. She will be a rising kindergartner this coming Fall. Ever since the very first day I walked in school building for a visit, I fell in love with the school's cozy homey atmosphere, wonderful smiles from each teacher, art decor throughout all classrooms. Without any doubt and any further school visit, I made an immediate decision that the Primary Montessori Day School would be the place for my daughter. For the past three years, my daughter has blossomed into an independent little person with full of curiosities and her academic progress in school has exceeded far beyond my expectation especially for this past Pre-Kindergarten year. As an experienced mother of four, I am impressed with the high quality Montessori program school has provided. I am a strong believer of the Montessori principle that child centered education through observations and the Primary Montessori Day School has brought all to its excellence. My daughter learned so much in school and our whole family actually shared quite a lot her experiences as she has brought back from school with cooking receipts, little experiments, fun facts, etc. She started reading on her own and has shown her interest in number games. I am so thankful that my daughter has had all the wonderful experienced Montessori teachers who has nurtured her throughout years. My family felt at home every time when we attended school's activities and never wanted to leave. A couple of weeks ago, we attended ice cream social and my daughter's class put together a great show. I was impressed that kids were able to sing so many songs and they remembered all dance moves! Both my daughter and my family are looking forward to another great year!"

"We LOVE Primary Montessori Day School. We've been with this school for nine years, when my oldest daughter started as a three year old. She stayed through Elementary and now our younger daughter is about to complete kindergarten and move to the elementary room. The holistic Montessori education children receive here is amazing and sets the bar so high! This school takes young children in and helps them grow into confident, kind and smart learners. Both of my girls have learned to love learning. They are happy, curious and broad thinkers. I cannot say enough fantastic words about the school, its teachers and its wonderful environment."

"Both of my kids (7 and 5 years now) attended Primary Montessori and it’s a school that I would highly recommend. The teachers are knowledgeable, attentive to each child’s specific needs, and are genuinely passionate in helping the students learn and to develop their interest for learning. The teacher assistants and administrative staff at Primary are also wonderful, I honestly can’t think of any issues I’ve had with the school or any individual staff in the 5 years that my children were there. The teacher-student ratio is low, each child’s developmental/academic progress are tracked and detailed reports are provided to the parents on a regular basis. The facility is quite new, classrooms are bright, clean, and equipment/learning-aids are always organized. In addition to the day-to-day classes, there are many fun (and free) events that are hosted for the children and their parents, which I really enjoyed (i.e., pajama party, ice-cream social, mother and father nights, love and logic seminars, etc). During the many times that I’ve visited the school, kids there seem well behaved and most important of all, happy. Primary Montessori has certainly met and in many ways, exceeded, my expectations. It provided my children with a safe and positive learning environment, and the quality of the school’s Montessori approach has really helped my kids in preparing them for the long academic journey ahead."

"My son went here for 3 years, now in public school, and now my daughter is here since last 2 years, in her third year, finishing Kindergarten. We just love this school.
