Our baby girl was here from 3 months to 6 months old. At 6 months old, I decided to quit my job and stay home and take care of her full time, however, I can’t say enough amazing things about FAB during the 3 months our daughter was there. The growth she showed in 3 months was incredible. Now, 6 months, she excels at tummy time, sitting up, rolling over both ways and socializing in general and I know FAB helped with all of these. The teachers are amazing- they truly care and we could see how much they loved her and she loved them. Great communication and friendly caring people all around. We would go back in a heart beat.

Really impressed with the quality of teachers here. You can tell they are very selective when hiring their teachers and that made the difference for me when I was visiting and choosing schools. We have been there two years now and I have been extremely pleased with our experience at Family Academy of Bethesda in both the younger and older classrooms. They are rare in that they offer a Montessori-style program for infants and one-year-olds.They take care of things for you and are completely child-centered, and they somehow manage to be laid back and provide a stronger academic program than most schools. The kids are all lively and sweet and engaged-- I was a little worried about preschool crushing my sons spirit, but Family Academy really seems to follow the Montessori idea for real and created a real curiosity and love of learning in my 2-year-old. It is so fun to watch him color and wash dishes and its clear he enjoys it.The school buildings are a little dilapidated, but I think thats because the staff is focused on quality teaching for the kids rather than expanding and looking fancy to attract more parents. Anyway they are meticulously clean and each classroom is its own house, which is really cute. Definitely recommend this school if you can get a spot.

My son cried in every day care we took him to in DC.. until we brought him here. The teachers are genuinely caring and the other children are kind and welcoming. George found a home here and we love it here!

Very expensive
