As a private school featuring pre-primary preschool daycare in Frederick, MD, our trained educators take pride in making sure children receive the best education and child care in this period of rapid change and growth.
Our Pre-Primary Preschool Daycare helps children develop a love of learning and the Arts. Our Montessori-trained staff helps guide children through the active exploration of themselves as well as family and the world around them. Throughout this process, they develop a love of knowledge as they become prepared to enter our Primary Education Program. The mind, or “psychic embryo” as Dr. Montessori called it, is constructed during the first three years of life.
The Montessori teacher is a trained observer of children’s learning and behavior and uses her knowledge of child development and teaching skills to help the child’s learning with a new lesson, a fresh challenge, or a reinforcement of basic ground rules. Whenever a child makes a mistake, the teacher refrains, if possible, from intervening and allows him to discover his own error through further manipulation of the self-correcting material. This practice agrees with Dr. Montessori’s principle that a child learns through experience. The focus of activity in the Montessori setting is on children’s learning. Children work individually or in small, self-directed groups. There are very few whole group lessons.

The development of the child during the first three years after birth is unequaled in intensity and importance by any period that precedes or follows in the whole life of the child.
Meadows Montessori is Frederick County’s best Montessori School offering the best in curriculum, environment and instructors. It’s been amazing to watch our daughter thrive in the environment.
Your staff is incredible. Every teacher has been so kind, accommodating, understanding and hardworking. They have all gone above and beyond our expectations to see to it that [our son] is thriving and growing in new and wonderful ways. We cannot express our gratitude enough.
[My daughter] has started giving me lessons and instructions when we are at home, and she says, “I believe in you, Mommy.” I know she can only use these phrases because someone has been regularly saying them to her; building her self-esteem through positive messages.
Kim and TJ focus on making this school an extension of the family, always open and available to listen. Most importantly, the kids feel valued and special by their teachers, and vice versa. We appreciate all the hard work it takes to make this school so special.
The teachers emphasize core values like respect, patience, and independence through their nurturing, kind, and calm examples. They genuinely appreciate the children and believe in what they do.
From the start, we were impressed with the discipline, patience and caring atmosphere with which each and every child is given and taught. Meadows Montessori is by far an educationally superior school with highly experienced and dedicated teachers and exceeds that of other childhood programs in the area.
From an educational perspective, we are constantly amazed at the skills and knowledge she acquires from Meadows. We are often stopped in public and asked where she attends school and when we tell them, they say, “Oh, we knew it had to be Montessori!
I want all of you to know how much we love the Meadows family and we couldn’t think of a better environment for [our daughter]
This is one of those rare places where all seems to work just right all the time. The level of involvement and professionalism the school displays is not only reassuring but truly inspirational. One can feel the overwhelming sense of care and love…
I can not begin to thank them enough for the positive influence they have been in my son’s life.
