The Family Academy of Bethesda

Mar 23rd, 2024

Family Academy has taken such wonderful care of our two children in our time here and we cannot recommend them enough. FAB took us in during the height of the COVID Pandemic and at no point did we ever feel unsafe or unsure of our decision. From Day 1, our children's development, safety, and happiness have been prioritized and nurtured and it has been a joy to see them grow and blossom. The staff has always been professional, responsive, and friendly and the teachers have been, to a one, absolutely magnificent. The depth of concern and feedback provided on a daily basis has been comprehensive and reassuring. In conversation with friends of ours who have their children at different child care centers, FAB always is reviewed the highest to the point that multiple friends of ours have brought their children to the center. Our children were treated with love and support at all times and we have and will continue to always sing FAB's praises. A top-tier organization through and through.

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 cant 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.

My son has been going to FAB since he was 2.5 He was first in the toddler classroom and then in the Montessori cottage. We absolutely love the teachers Ms I fang...she instills creativity and encourages challenging work while nurturing. The aides Ms Sara & Ms Deepika are just fabulous, both loving. Ms Rima is communicative and very easy to talk to. She personally knows each child in the school. We could not recommend FAB more!

We had both of our children at Family Academy from the infant room through the montessori classrooms. The teachers and all of the staff are so caring and warm; taught our children so much. We were new to the montessori curriculum, but are firm believers now seeing how much our children learned through the student-paced, play-based, and practical lessons. Our children really bonded with the teachers and staff, so glad they were part of our lives during such a critical time in our child's development. The school has a very low turnover in staff/teachers--which added to our comfort. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for childcare/preschool in the Bethesda area. The only downside from our perspective is the lack of sufficient outdoor space, particularly for the older children.
