Report
When we learned that Melissa & Sonia, the Directors and Owners of Bethesda Preparatory Preschool, were opening their own school - without a second thought we knew we'd be following with our son! Melissa, Sonia, and their teachers provide a warm and nurturing Christian atmosphere where our oldest has really come into his own. The facility is clean, the class sizes provide lots of individualized attention, and the school is run professionally while not feeling cold and "corporate". We're waiting for our youngest to be old enough to attend! I can't say enough great things about the school and staff

Report
We are so excited about Bethesda Prep, we just enrolled for January 2019! Both directors are very knowledgeable in the field, helpful and have made us comfortable with leaving our little one after being home with her for the first two years of her life. We met all the teachers at their Fall Festival and each teacher was so welcoming. We love the feel of the school and our little one is obsessed with the soft padded indoor Muscle Gym! We cant wait for all that our little one will explore.
