Providing child care for Preschool, PreK and School Age children in safe, nurturing and age-appropriate educational environment in Silver Spring area
Monarch Preschool College Park is a project-based learning program, modeled on John Dewey's philosophy of learning by doing and the Project Approach, which is a theoretical framework for schools that have, at its core, the "Engaging Children's Minds" strategy developed by Dr. Lillian Katz and Dr. Sylvia Chard. Children in this preschool will be met at their developmental level. Students will learn from each other and work together to complete in-depth projects that they are interested in. All children can and want to learn. Project-based learning harnesses the natural passion to learn, by presenting learning experiences as expeditions into the unknown. Project-based learning cultivates and fosters greater continuity of relationships between students and teachers, draws on the power of small groups, creates an exploratory mindset, and allows a child to understand the greater community. Monarch Preschool College Park provides an authentic application of learning that embeds the arts within the important learning concepts to foster engagement, aid in retention and enhance comprehension in a consistently hands-on, interactive, and dynamic environment.

Christ Memorial Christian Preschool was started in 1978. Our goal then and now is to provide preschoolers with a traditional nursery school environment and program correlated with teachings from the Bible. We strongly believe in Proverbs 22:6 "Point your children in the right direction~ when they're old they won't be lost" School begins at 9:00 am and ends at Noon. A typical day consists of free play, opening circle, crafts/art activity, large muscle developing time, a group lesson, snack time, rest time, story/music time, and outside play. The school day is planned and structured according to the needs of each class. There is a teacher and an aide in every classroom.
