I wanted to share my experience with Julia Brown School regarding my daughter's time there…read more Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing and left us feeling that the environment was not supportive of helping children adjust and thrive. When my daughter was placed in a new classroom, she had been there for less than a full day before we began receiving calls asking us to pick her up because she was "not listening to instructions." As any parent knows, transitions to a new classroom can be challenging for young children. It typically takes time for them to feel comfortable with new teachers, classmates, and expectations. Instead of allowing her a reasonable adjustment period or working with us on strategies to help her settle in, the school seemed irritated by the situation and quick to remove her from the classroom. We were hoping the staff would demonstrate patience, professionalism, and a child-centered approach--giving her at least a week or two to adapt to the new environment. Unfortunately, that level of support and understanding was not demonstrated. Repeated calls to pick her up after such a short time in the classroom made it feel like the priority was convenience rather than helping a child succeed. Every child deserves educators who are willing to guide them through transitions with patience and care. We had hoped for a more supportive and professional approach from the school in ensuring that our child had the opportunity to adjust and thrive.

The teachers are phenomenal and the campus is clean and neat. School communications are clear and prompt, there's always someone there to answer questions or concerns. One of my favorite parts of JBS Silver Spring is the community. We have met life-long friends both for the kids and us parents. Often when a child leaves JBS Silver Spring, we stay in touch with the family since the kids build such a close bond. I can't imagine us being anywhere else, it's truly our dream school come true.

The staff is knowledgeable, and their expertise in kids is an aggregate of over 50 years experience. The school creates a great environment for child social development and parent education, offering everything from potty training to sensory development classes (to help parents better understand no only their own kids, but the kids in the community as well. As a young cooping father, I've learned lots of ways of being more productively involved with my kids. Since starting with my daughter at SSNS 2 years ago, I went from helping my elementary school son with homework, to being actively involved in his school's PTA. I talk to everyone about SSNS, and would recommend it to any family with young kids.

It's like sending them to an HBCU as an elementary school. They don't play games when it comes to educating and providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children. At times you may feel like the kids are more of a priority than you as a parent, that's fine with me. The administration and teachers have always treated me with respect and courtesy; they will let you know what's in the best interest for your child, whether you want to hear it or not. Their standard curriculum for your child will be one year ahead of the rest of the region... so my oldest son came out of the school leaps and bounds ahead of his peers...some of his friends went to public school and their families had to fight for more advanced work to stimulate their children... If you care about the quality of education and genuine commitment from administration and staff to care for and guide your young child, then this is the place. My wife and I tell other black parents that it's the 'hidden gem' of Silver Spring.... I hesitated writing reviews for this place for years just so I can selfishly guarantee myself a spot for the following year........
