Potomac Nursery School

When my daughter was 3, I began looking for a preschool that was primarily focused on the emotional and social development of children. I stumbled on PNS and I’m so glad I did! This school is a hidden gem! All 3 of my children attended between 2005 – 2012.
There’s always a happy energy in the building and the staff will welcome you to visit anytime. The teachers are warm, nurturing and educated. The school is small and cozy, but very organized. The staff members know every family and make deep connections with the children. They encourage you to stop by at any time, which some schools do not. They have a very nice playground, plus a fenced off area for the kids to ride bikes. You will find the kids spend a lot of time outside, which was very important to me. As for academics, they do a great job of preparing the kids for the rigors of MCPS kindergarten, but always in a low-​key age-​appropriate manner. They also incorporate Handwriting Without Tears. Check them out and you will fall in love!

What does a kid need out of nursery school? Nurturing, emotional development, socializing with peers and of course learning. Potomac Nursery School has all of this and more. It is truly a special place of warmth and nurturing that is hard to find. It is a gem!!!
