A Smarter Start: Kindergarten at Kiddie Academy

At Kiddie Academy of Gaithersburg, we believe families shouldn’t have to choose between academic excellence and a nurturing environment. That’s why our Private Kindergarten Program is built to meet all Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) standards—while offering so much more.

Our curriculum mirrors the core learning topics found in Montgomery County Public Schools, ensuring your child stays aligned with grade-level expectations in literacy, math, science, and social studies. But as a private learning institution, we’re able to offer additional advantages that set our program apart.

With smaller class ratios, children benefit from more individualized instruction and strong connections with their teachers. Weekly enrichment classes in yoga and Spanish, seasonal sports, and a dedicated social-emotional curriculum add layers of growth beyond the traditional classroom. Our state-of-the-art playgrounds, nutritious meals, and secure live-stream camera access provide the peace of mind parents value most.

In today’s world, social-emotional learning is more than just a classroom add-on—it’s a foundational skill set that helps children thrive both academically and personally. At Kiddie Academy of Gaithersburg, our Private Kindergarten integrates a dedicated social-emotional curriculum, titled Character Essentials, into daily lessons—helping children develop empathy, resilience, and self-regulation. In an age where adaptability and emotional intelligence are key to long-term success, we create intentional moments for children to navigate friendships, solve problems, and express their feelings in healthy ways. This focus not only builds classroom confidence but also prepares your child for a lifetime of positive relationships and responsible decision-making.

Families also enjoy the flexibility of a full-day schedule, convenient access to the Metro station, ICC-200, and I-270 for a smooth commute, and daily communication through the Tadpoles keeping you informed and involved every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a Kindergarten experience that balances academic readiness with personal growth, Kiddie Academy of Gaithersburg is the smart choice. Schedule your tour today and see the difference for yourself.
