Primrose DB has taken care of our kids lovingly for many years! We have had the privilege of many wonderful teachers who have prepared our kids to launch to Kindergarten!
Ani RaoJul 8, 2026We love Primrose School! The school is always clean, well-organized, and has an amazing staff and wonderful teachers. My son loves his teachers, especially Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Duniya. They are caring, supportive, and have made his experience at the school so positive. We truly appreciate everything they do and highly recommend Primrose School!
Hadra AhmedJun 11, 2026Excellent experience for both of my kids. We’ve been using primrose as backup care for years. Dropping off is never a problem. the teachers are so welcoming, classroom is very clean and spacious. Highly recommend
Shaun WangJun 11, 2026We love Primrose and the teachers have been amazing for our son! The teachers truly love our son and he is so happy every morning that he gets to daycare!
Taylor HeskethMay 15, 2026Best daycare!! As a working parent it’s important that school stays open, even with the snow storm they try to stays open as soon as the road not dangerous for driving. Highly recommend not like other daycare close for like a week bc of the snow. They also upload lots of your child pictures throughout the day it puts an ease of my mind while at work.
ShuuuFeb 23, 2026If I could provide more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend Primrose of Bethesda and Director Castro. Our infant was with Primrose for ~9 months, beginning as a 3 month old until we relocated to a different state. In this time, she had only two sets of two teachers. Both sets were communicative, reliable, and overtly sweet and loving - they even got her birthday gifts when she turned 1. Every morning honestly felt more like dropping our daughter off at grandma's house, rather than at a school. We are friends with many of our fellow parents, and they would agree with this perception of the 'Primrose family.' Teachers provide sufficient updates throughout the day on the app, and are responsive to any unique requests - they could even bottle feed our daughter better than we could. The classrooms are clean & tidy, safe, full of toys, and very well managed. I can't commend Director Castro enough for her professional management of the school, hiring of great staff, and friendly and reliable communication. This school is well worth the price in our experience, and we will certainly miss it.

Questions parents ask about Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda
Is Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda a licensed child care provider in Maryland?
- Yes. Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda holds Maryland licence 1746220563426x526567599956327740, listed as "CONTINUING - FULL" by the Office of Child Care, Maryland State Department of Education in Montgomery County. The licence is recorded as Continuing - Full, running to May 31, 2028. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.
What does Maryland record about Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda's standing?
- Maryland records Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda's status as "In Good Standing". That is a single status field in a snapshot, not a compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. Maryland publishes inspection findings separately at checkccmd.org and they are not included here.
How many children is Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda licensed for?
- Maryland's record lists 24 infant places for Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda. Those are the only two age bands this dataset publishes, so they are not a total capacity and do not describe toddler or preschool places. Ask the provider for its full licensed capacity.
Does Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda operate all year?
- Maryland records Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda as a "Full Year" programme. That is the schedule on the licence record rather than a timetable, so confirm term dates and closures with the provider.
Does this page show inspection results for Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda?
- No. Maryland inspects licensed child care programmes and publishes the results through Check Child Care Maryland at checkccmd.org. Those reports are not included here, so nothing on this page reflects Primrose School of Downtown Bethesda's inspection history either way. This page's record comes from Maryland Family Network's LOCATE service, which carries licence and status data rather than inspection findings.
