Green School Award

Ever enthusiastic about our environment, we pledge to help the Earth as a Maryland Green School. Recycling, conservation techniques, and discovery of the out-of-doors define our passion for all that is green.

Voted Best Preschool

We are thrilled to announce readers of Bethesda Magazine have recognized us as Best Preschool for a fifth award cycle. Thank you for voting for our vibrant programs, engaging classes and superlative Summer Camp!

In-School Celebration

Our Best of Bethesda Celebration took us by storm, like the snow, this January 6 and 7! Balloons, special signs, and a cookie emblazoned with #1 are how we reveled in our best preschool and summer camp distinctions.

Holiday

Festivity

Pastor Patrick visited his daughter's class holiday party; we celebrated with reindeer enthusiasm. Dancing and prancing, we learned holiday songs, read stories, shared a feast and wished each other a Happy New Year 2020!

See how we grow. . .

Encore, Dylan!

We could not be more proud of GDS graduate Dylan Newell's December 14 performance at Carnegie Hall.
