This school is outstanding!!! They provide wonderful learning opportunities for my children. I was shocked to read the other reviews because my children are not perfect. My advise to you - go and see the school for yourself. It has over 250 children and a waiting list and many families return year over year so they must be doing comething right!!!
I have had a horrible experience with Bethesda Country Day Scholl. I echo the complaints of the other commenters listed here. I found the teachers to be unskilled and completely unmotivated to deal with behaviorsa issues of preschool stusdents. The principal also promises to help the parents and teachers develop solutions but never seems to follow-through. Bottom line: unless you have an perfectly behaved child, you will have problems with this school.
This school is perfect for parents looking for flexibility with part to all day care. The staff is nice and it has a multicultural feel. However, the school is lacking seriously in several areas including a structured academic learning atmosphere. In addition, they have no regard for nutrition, allowing parents to bring in anything they want for snack including candy and chips. Finally, the Nobel system does not support its teachers very well which results in unhappy teachers and parents.
I found that this school fell well below my expectations. Some teachers are irresponsible, and their methods of disiplining are downright unacceptable. Several of my neighbors and friends whose children attended BCDS have complained about behavioral issues until they withdrew their children from this school and placed them somewhere else. The principal has done nothing to help either us or these other parents we have spoken with. In fact, she has defended the school, saying that she knows the teachers better than she knows us. No doubt some people have a great interaction with the school, but even one 'incident' is an incident too many as far as our children are concerned. A huge disappointment.
