This is a hidden gem. The teachers are fabulous! They work hard, communicate with families and differentiate for all students. The curriculum is fun and engaging- kids get to be kids while still learning and growing! Family members communicate with one another and organize play dates. It's a wonderful little preschool!
Amy SiegristApr 29, 2026We've been coming to Sandy Ridge for 4 years now and the staff and teachers have been so supportive and truly invested in the kids' learning and growth! Love the celebrations and opportunities for kids to perform during the holiday and graduation parties. Highly recommend!!
Sailu SethiaFeb 17, 2026I highly recommend this preschool. Both of my children attend here, and we have been so happy with our experience. The teachers and staff truly care about the children—they genuinely love working with kids and teach them with great patience and kindness. My children look forward to going to school every day. They love their school, they love learning, and there is nothing more important than that.
saraban chFeb 10, 2026My daughter is now in her second year at Sandy Ridge Academy, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive.The teachers here are truly exceptional — caring, attentive, and deeply invested in each child’s growth. Communication has always been respectful and professional in our experience, and the classroom environment feels safe, organized, and nurturing. As parents, you can tell when educators love what they do — and that shows every day in how they interact with the kids. Most importantly, our child is happy, engaged, and excited to go to school. We’re very grateful for the teachers and staff at Sandy Ridge Academy and highly recommend them to other families looking for a strong early childhood program.
Robert PlunkettFeb 10, 2026Sandy Ridge is the most incredible preschool and daycare one could ask for. The teachers and staff are kind, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely care for the children. Our children have felt safe, happy, and excited to go to school every day, which says and means everything. The incredible social and academic growth out of our kids while at Sandy Ridge is only icing on the cake! We are incredibly grateful to be part of such an amazing school community. Anyone considering a preschool in the area should absolutely consider (and choose) Sandy Ridge!
Kenneth SheeksFeb 10, 2026From the very first day, this preschool has felt like a second home for my youngest child. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, kind, patient, and genuinely caring. My daughter loves going to school and always says she feels happy and good being there. That alone speaks volumes. The staff has been incredibly accommodating and supportive, making the transition into school life so smooth for both my child and me. Their level of care and attention truly goes above and beyond. Overall, their service is exceptional. I would highly recommend this preschool to other parents without hesitation! It is a place where children are not only taught, but genuinely loved and cared for.

Questions parents ask about Sandy Ridge Academy
Is Sandy Ridge Academy a licensed child care provider in Maryland?
- Yes. Sandy Ridge Academy holds Maryland licence 1746222878651x876305092385441400, 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 October 30, 2026. Confirm current standing with the Office of Child Care before enrolling.
What does Maryland record about Sandy Ridge Academy's standing?
- Maryland records Sandy Ridge Academy'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 Sandy Ridge Academy licensed for?
- Maryland's record lists 33 school-age places for Sandy Ridge Academy. 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 Sandy Ridge Academy operate all year?
- Maryland records Sandy Ridge Academy 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 Sandy Ridge Academy?
- 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 Sandy Ridge Academy'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.
