The outdoor play area is unmatched-- absolutely pristine. Special activities during the summer are daily, including Science Center and National Aquarium visits. There is an impressive amount of transparency with the indoor/outdoor cameras, published curriculum, event calendar, and food/sleep logs. I have "reminded" my teachers of special requests when consistency wanes with time, but I always get an immediate and courteous response. Communication is consistent and prompt from administration, as well.

We get photos of the kids learning through crafts, playtime and songs. If the our kids are sick, the staff and teachers ask how they are doing and are truly concerned for their well-being. Both kids have great friendships there and talk about their friends at the house. Kiddie Academy offers extracurricular activities such as soccer, dance and music. Throughout the year, they have several weekend events that include art and crafts, science experiments and projects and open houses that include visits from book characters, bounce houses, snacks and play activities. They are very organized and dedicated to the learning curriculum, and we are always amazed at the new words, concepts and activities that our children have learned. The live video access that KA offers is a huge plus for us as well!

From the owner: A Montessori School: The Classroom . . …read more The "prepared environment" of the classroom is organized to take advantage of the absorbent nature of the young child's mind. Dr. Maria Montessori observed the importance of sensitive periods for early learning. These sensitive periods are characterized by a child's fascination with learning a new skill and repeating it over and over again. The Montessori environment allows a child the freedom to select their own work and follow their own interests.

They are organized, loving and go out of their way to make each child feel special.

(about the founding of ACCS) inspired us to seek a classical, Christian education for our four children. We were ecstatic to find an ACCS school so close to us! If you haven't watched it, do! Watch for free here - https://classicalchristian.org/geronimo-amen/ 2. Amazing teachers! From the moment we started our oldest in Mrs. Kord's amazing Kindergarten to the special care and extra effort the teachers take in helping our children succeed, we couldn't be happier. The teachers are excellent in their craft, joyful in the duty, and encouraging as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Our children are challenged and brought higher by the brilliant lights there. 3. All of the events! If you want to be amazed at the accomplishments of ALL our students, look no further than the Christmas Concert or the Recitatio in the spring. In addition to the school wide events, each class has multiple creative and immersive events that bring the learning to life. 4. Security! In this day and age, security is a top priority. Our school has upgraded systems. I would say more, but it's mostly just something you have to see for yourself. So schedule a tour today! https://www.nccsmd.org/schedule-tour 5. Lastly and most importanly...how Christ honoring the education is! Chapel is so encouraging for every age. The scripture the whole school memorizes is amazing to watch them all recite. Their memory work always include scripture. The teachers and staff will stop and pray with you or your child, will offer words of encouragement, and have blessed us with their faithfulness. The culture at the school is pointed toward and aligned with what matters most, the kingdom of God.

New Covenant Christian School is a wonderful place for students to grow both academically and…read morespiritually. My children experienced challenging curriculum, as well as a nurturing school environment. They use a classical approach to learning which has helped my children not only gain an understanding of the content taught, but to also have confidence and a conviction to share their faith and articulate their thoughts with peers and adults. There is a strong focus on student safety, and the school has recently upgraded its security system. The teachers are very knowledgeable in their subject matter and take time to build in special events to support the students' understanding of content and aid them in cultivating a love of learning. As a parent who has worked in the educational field for over twenty years, I would encourage you to consider visiting their campus and seeing how they are different from other schools in the area. If you are looking for a school that is focused on strong academics, while fostering a Christian world view and nurturing environment, New Covenant Christian School is an excellent place to consider.

Love the thorough updates and pictures throughout the day via the app. Get to know about my toddler's meals, naps, and activities. All of the staff we've encountered have been friendly, attentive, and responsive. We can tell they love their jobs and the children. Enrollment process was a breeze. On my toddler's first day, I received many picture and message updates which definitely helped me relieve my anxiety. She was very happy and talkative after the first day and was already repeating her teacher's name! It's been about a month now and she LOVES talking about her day and she is already learning so much and so quickly.

From day one, the staff felt like extended family. They treated our children with genuine care, respect, and love, creating a nurturing environment where our kids thrived. Brenda and Eric, the owners, have always gone above and beyond to accommodate our family's needs. They were approachable, kind, and genuinely invested in each child's development. They've also built a strong community through thoughtful events like Dogs for Dads on Father's Day, Mother's Day celebrations, fun date nights, trunk-or-treat and graduations. Academically and socially, our children left Goddard more than ready for kindergarten and well ahead of their peers. The foundation they received there has had a lasting impact on their confidence and love of learning. We will always be grateful for the safe, enriching, and loving environment Goddard provided for our children. It truly became a second home, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

An answer that kept popping up: a teacher. That told my husband and I that the kids themselves truly admire and like the staff here. We've seen the advances in reading, math, shapes, colors, etc. over time but the joy she has in going to school wasn't to learn.. it was being with the teachers and class... which makes learning fun. Hats off to Mr. Eric, Ms. Brenda, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Laurel. They do a fantastic job in maintaining a secure facility, strong communication, fun learning, and a great attitude.

The center offers literally everything: cameras, live apps with direct communication to your kids' teachers, weekly instead of monthly billing, freshly cooked meals made in-house, diapers/pull-ups/wipes, reservation weeks for times you're on vacation, an incredible play-based curriculum for each age group, and loving and caring staff. The staff feel like family, the facility feels warm and well loved, and most importantly our kids are well taken care of. Rachel Rossi, the director, does a phenomenal job of managing it and communicating with parents. If you're looking for a sterile, academics-focused environment this isn't the place. But if you're looking for a nurturing space where kids learn by playing, eat nutritious meals they wouldn't normally eat at home, and thrive in this is it.
