This is who we are.
The Primary Day School in Bethesda, Maryland, educates boys and girls during the four most important learning years of their lives—Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade. Children are full of energy, curiosity, and potential during this magical time of life. A Primary Day education taps all three to the fullest.
What is the Phonovisual Method?
