Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church Nursery School

I agree with the sentiment of the other parents. BHPCNS has a nurturing and loving environment for the children. I love the staff and the teachers. They DO care for your kid, if there is an issue the Director or Teacher will call you to set up a meeting. They also do OT, speech and hearing test (free of charge) every year + they have an agreement with the bethesda dance conservatory to provide dance classes once a week, and they have the cutest performance at the end of the semester. You won't regret signing up your kid here.

I cannot say enough great things about this school. The Director of the school is such a professional. She takes the time to know each family and understand the needs of each child. She is accessible, knowledgeable, and extremely engaged. The teachers in the school are wonderful, nurturing, and deeply care about their students. The program encourages children to reach age appropriate milestones in a play-based environment. I have loved watching my daughters thrive and grow in this incredibly sweet and very special school. We have also loved the great community of families that we have met through the school. I highly recommend this school.

My four children are students at BHPCNS, and we couldn’t be happier with the school and our experience there. The teachers, staff and administration are all warm, nurturing and highly professional, creating an environment where children truly thrive. Through the play-based curriculum, our kids not only have fun each day but they learn a great deal about how to be a part of a community and how to be a good friend. These core lessons will serve them in future schooling and throughout the rest of their lives. I would recommend this sweet school without reservation.

We are so grateful we picked this preschool for our 3 kids! Best Bethesda preschool hands down! Loving, fun, attentive, professional, kind, and this list goes on! My little Bradley Bears have flourished in this play-based learning environment where the teachers love for the kids and teaching is evident. When we were touring preschools they really stood out. The teachers have long tenures. They have 3 different playgrounds. The thoughtfulness of the lesson plans through playful activities when watching the kids in action when touring and through the displays of artwork and projects that fill their hallways. The sense of community is clear through the parent group. They offer so much at the school but also bring so much in. They have lots of “specials” like when the kids get to learn about sea creatures. The kids think of dental hygiene as fun after the dentist visits the school (this was very helpful when we went in for their first dental exam!). My kids look forward to the annual truck touch every year! They also offer amazing afternoon programs like cooking, yoga, science, geography, art, dance, and more. The Director and Assistant Director work hard to support the kids and teachers. My eldest has graduated. This school really encouraged a love of learning and that learning is fun. It gave her all the tools she needed to excel in kindergarten. It also really supported us as parents. I see why so many parents come back after their kids have graduated to find ways to continue to be a part of the school. Like I said before... best Bethesda preschool hands down!!!!!

BHPCNS was my four kids’ first school. We started this amazing relationship over 13 years ago, and the entire family smiles brightly when talking about Bradley Hills. The teachers cared for my kids as their own with love and patience. My kids could not wait to go back to school day after day, year after year. The best nursery school parents could send their children. Thank you Bradley Bear!!!!
