Our family's connection to The Winchester School spans more than a decade - and it says everything that we chose it again for our younger child. Our oldest began here as a toddler in Pre-K3, and now, over ten years later, our youngest is thriving in the same caring environment. Many of the same wonderful teachers and administrators are still here, which speaks volumes about the school's stability and the passion of its staff.The Winchester team creates an environment where children are not only cared for but truly inspired to learn. For any parent looking for a nurturing, consistent, and well-established preschool in the Silver Spring / Aspen Hill area, this school is a gem.

We couldn't be more lucky to have Winchester in our lives. Our son is coming home singing, speaking back and forth in two languages, and loving science. And that's just Pre-K! Wonderful faculty that have been there for decades. Cant recommend enough!
