Suburban Nursery School

We were lucky to find SNS for our son’s first year of preschool! It has been a very welcoming, supportive community that made the transition to going to school easy. The teachers are very caring and truly love what they do. We are so happy with how the year went!

We couldn’t be happier at Suburban nursery school in Bethesda. My son is always so excited to arrive and is always welcomed with smiles and open arms which makes him feel so special. The children get lots of outdoor play on their incredible grounds, always playing with bubbles or various bikes/trikes, cubby house and play equipment. They have a weekly music class and movement class, craft and free play. The classrooms are so warm, CLEAN and filled with amazing trucks, building toys, dress ups, imagination play toys etc. truly a kids paradise. I never feel guilty about leaving my son because I know he’s going to have so much fun. I have toured so many in the area and nothing even came close to this. The staff are so warm and accommodating and we feel like we gained a family at Suburban which was lovely being so far from home.

There is a reason that people travel from so far away to attend this nursery school. The teachers, the community, the facilities—they're all top notch! Not to mention that they do such a great job with kids who don't speak English as a first language, like my own. When my second child entered Suburban, it was rare—if ever—that he would output English. But once he left Suburban and entered elementary school, he was determined to be ineligible for any sort of English support services—his English language skills had become that good!

SNS has been home to our 3 children. We started in 2019 with our oldest son. Soon after, the pandemic happened and it turned our world upside down, as it did for many people. The teachers there continued to provide support and also dropped off goodies from time to time. We love all of the teachers at SNS, but Mrs. Yurechko is hands-down the best teacher a kid (and parent) can ask for! Mrs. Betsy Meltzer was always supportive especially when our youngest daughter had separation anxiety. She provided guidance and helped us get through these tough times. Fast forward 4 years later, we are sending our last red bird to SNS. It’s a bittersweet moment, and we’re trying to savor every second. Thank you SNS for making preschool so memorable! ❤️

Such a wonderful and supportive community of teachers and families. All of my kids have attended Suburban and we have been so happy with their experience there. Their play based learning, caring and supportive teachers, and enriching learning experiences have given my children a very positive early education experience. I love the vibrant classrooms and fantastic outdoor space. As a parent the co-op program has allowed me to be so involved and witness their learning first hand. Highly recommend 😊
