About The Family Academy of Bethesda
Started in 1975 as a family daycare for infants in nearby Bethesda neighborhoods, The Family Academy of Bethesda still operates from its original house, which gives the center a home-like feel. Care begins with infants at 6 weeks, continues through a toddler camp for ages 15 months to 2 years, and moves into two Montessori classrooms for ages 2.5 to 6. It is a Validated Montessori School recognized by the American Montessori Society and Montessori Schools of Maryland, and its pre-K and kindergarten programs follow the Montgomery County curriculum. Growth in demand pushed the school onto additional campuses and a waitlist form is available. Doors are open 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, with year-round open enrollment and a summer program. Rated 4.8 from 12 Google reviews, 10 of them five stars.
