Maryland publishes an infant band and a school-age band and no others, so these are not a total capacity and say nothing about toddler or preschool places.

  We’ve had such a positive experience at PBMS so far! 1. Nature-first environment we love: The 63-acre campus full of beautiful trees and landscapes is a huge plus. My son is naturally curious about nature, and here he gets to explore it daily. In this high-tech era, it’s so refreshing to find a school that prioritizes outdoor learning and being nature-friendly. 2. Hands-on learning that actually engages kids: My son comes home excited every day. The Montessori approach lets him learn by doing not just sitting. He’s more independent and confident since starting. 3. Great parent communication: The school uses a reliable app that keeps us updated on his daily activities, photos, and milestones. As a working parents, knowing what he did each day gives us real peace of mind. If you want a school that balances academics, independence, and a genuine connection to the natural world, we can’t recommend PBMS enough.

  This is such a special school. The school does an incredible job of communicating with parents and my son has come so far since he started attending. All of the teachers are so warm and incredible at what they do. I have nothing but rave reviews from our time at PBMS.

  My favorite school for my daughter is Paint Branch Montessori School. She loves it there. She enjoys having homework to do at home, and she has learned a lot about numbers. She is doing great and has even started reading 📖. Since we enrolled her at Paint Branch Montessori School, she has been learning more and more every day. It is truly an excellent school. We are very happy with the teachers and the program.

  We feel incredibly lucky to have found this gem of a Montessori school! From day one, the support we've received has been nothing short of amazing. The daily communication from staff and teachers keeps us so connected to our child’s day—it’s clear they truly care and are deeply invested in each child’s development. The individualized support during transitions (like coming back from a break or even his very first days) has been such a comfort. He adjusted so quickly, and I credit that to the nurturing, responsive environment they've created. You know it's a great place when your child doesn’t want to leave because the dance party is still going strong! We love how intentional and engaging the curriculum is. They really follow the Maria Montessori philosophy in such a thoughtful, authentic way. The weekly newsletters are a fantastic touch—they help us understand what he’s learning and give us ways to extend that learning at home. They also go above and beyond by hosting events throughout the year that bring families together and make us feel like partners in the learning process. Our child is thriving—not only is he exposed to multiple languages, but the teachers continuously challenge him, even though he’s already very advanced in language. They never let him plateau; they encourage him to keep growing. This place sets the bar incredibly high for what early childhood education and care should be. We are beyond grateful to be a part of this community!

  Paint Branch Montessori is a wonderful school! Our child attended the Primary Program there, and it was a joy to see her excel and grow. The staff is very warm and welcoming, and knew each family individually. They take the time to get to know you and your child, and instill leadership, character and confidence into the children. Communication is outstanding, and the app is great to get updates and photos throughout the day. Our youngest child attends the Tiny Tots program twice a week, and has a great time! I highly recommend Paint Branch Montessori School.
