Hear What Parents Have To Say...
He has been thriving, both academically, emotionally...
I am a HUGE fan of FCD. They have done an excellent job of meeting my child where he was and working with me to help acclimate him to the daycare setting and transition to the Montessori curriculum. My child has been attending FCD for over a year and he has been thriving, both academically, social/emotionally, and with major toddler milestones (e.g. potty training, tantrums). I cannot say enough about how amazing the staff at FCD have been, both for him and for me.

My favorite part is the emphasis on different cultures...
I LOVE THIS PLACE! All the teachers and staff are super friendly and personable. They all know my daughter's name and she loves being recognized. My daughter has learned so much in such a short period of time. She may only be 2 years old, but I appreciate how much time and effort the teachers put into creating and implementing a monthly curriculum that can be suitable for toddlers. My favorite part is the emphasis on different cultures. It makes for a well rounded education from the start! There is usually a wait list, but it is absolutely worth the wait!

The staff is super friendly and very communicative...
Absolutely love this place. The staff is super friendly and very communicative. I love how they send my husband and myself updates throughout the day and keep us up to date on what is happening at the school. I also love how they allow the students to learn at their own pace while still guiding them. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is thinking about going the Montessori route.

The parent teacher conference is very informative...
The parent teacher conference is very informative. My son is not at the age where he can communicate in full sentences yet. So hearing from the teacher about my son's progress at school is very important to me. This also allow the opportunity for me, as a mother, to understand what he's going through at school everyday.
Amy Rice
Everyone is so kind and professional when I interact...
I just wanted to say a quick thank you so very much for all that you do. Everyone is so kind and professional when I interact with the school during drop-offs/pick-ups. He loves his class and it is so neat to see what he learns when he's at school. He actually cleans up after himself at the house now! Thank you for braving it out there in this new covid world.

She has made so much progress with her teachers at FCD...
We enrolled our daughter at FCD for Kindergarten because we needed an in-person option for this year. We *could not* be more pleased with her experience. She has made so much progress with her teachers at FCD, who have shown so much care and support during this difficult year. They have been communicative and caring and all the staff showed they took the kids' safety seriously.

Your place has a great impact on his growth...
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL for your school. We really are so happy we could send him to your school after sending him to other daycares. Your place has a great impact on his growth and independence. We plan to stay until he goes to "real school". Thank you for working hard to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment for kids - it truly is priceless. <3

Our son loves his teachers and we can focus on our work...
We toured several centers before settling on FCD. It honestly adds about 30 minutes to our daily commute, but we kept searching and couldn’t find anything that compared in safety and staff quality. We are incredibly happy with our decision. Our son loves his teachers and we can focus on our work during the day, knowing that he is in the very best hands.

They follow great curriculum & have awesome activities...
I liked this school for her because it provided a caring, clean, safe, and supportive environment. The staff are very experienced and nurturing. They follow a great curriculum and have so many awesome activities for the little ones. They even share out detailed progress reports and have parent-teacher conferences. Enrolling your child at this school is a great opportunity!

We couldn’t be more pleased with the education...
Our daughter is in one of the primary classrooms and we couldn’t be more pleased with the education she is receiving at such a young age. We love seeing her independently carryover and initiate Montessori-based activities at home. FCD offers a warm, welcoming and safe environment and it is evident that the staff truly cares for the children.

The staff are kind and caring with the children...
We Love Frederick Country Day Montessori school. My son is a student in one of their primary classrooms and loves going to school each day. The staff are kind and caring with the children and provide the children with an outstanding Montessori experience. The growth we have seen in our son since starting in the fall has been so wonderful to watch.

It has been a gratifying and amazing experience...
It has been a gratifying and amazing experience for both my girls and for us. The teachers are so caring and when your kids spend time at school, you want to be able to trust the people that are caring for them. I cannot say enough positive things about the school and the staff. My children are more well rounded, communicative, and kinder because of their experience at FCD.

They care about his physical and emotional well being...
We have been at Frederick Country Day for a little over 2 years. The teachers here are what makes this school top notch. They care about his physical and emotional well being and he has learned so much... way more than I could ever teach him at home. I hope anyone reading this review schedules an appt to visit. It will be well worth your time.

They keep us updated about the day with pictures...
Our 2 year old started here and we have been so pleased with our experience thus far. The teachers made us feel really comfortable with insuring a smooth drop off and continued to keep us updated about the day with lots of pictures. My husband and I to be able to have our minds at ease knowing our kiddo is in such good hands. Our little one loves going to school!

Teachers and office staff have been exceptional...
Our daughter has been enrolled in Frederick Country Day since she was 4 months old. From the newborn room, toddler room, her current room, the teachers and office staff have been exceptional and very devoted to our daughter. Montessori environment fosters independence, and we're amazed at the skills she comes home with. Highly recommended.
