As we closely follow the evolving situation around COVID-19, our goal is to keep the GCDS community informed at every step. The safety and health of our students is our top priority. Since COVID-19 began on March, 2020, Glenwood Country Day School HAS NOT closed one day due to the pandemic. By following our guidelines set forth by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), we were able to continue teaching our children in our community. We will continue to implement safe practices based on the current CDC guidelines.

At Glenwood Country Day Schol, you have the opportunity to give your child the gift of a second language.
GCDS offers preschool and kindergarten-aged children an experience in an environment that integrates Spanish.
Children are given a wonderful opportunity for learning a foreign language. By teaching students from a young age,
we help them develop a foundation that will help accelerate their ability to learn language skills in later years.
Outside, everything a child encounters is an invitation to collaborate,
create, and play. Nurturing the innate sense of wonder found in outdoor play
can inspire a child’s lifelong love of learning, establish a strong foundation for
future explorations, and offer them a window into their imaginations where they
are empowered to think freely, pursue curiosity, and grow together.

While our staff is always dedicated to ensuring our learning and workspaces are clean and safe,
we have dedicated protocols to support illness prevention across campus. This includes intense
cleaning and disinfecting, which we have been implementing since the beginning of the Covid-19.
We recognize that children learn differently and our programs are
individualized to meet each child where they are in their development
and learning abilities.
Glenwood Country Day School is proud to be accredited by the
Maryland State Department of Education
Outdoors, with teachers by their side, our preschoolers have the freedom to engage in hands-on
interactions, natural gross motor development, healthy explorations, and imaginative play.
We want every child to get excited about learning. That's why at GCDS, small class curriculums are developed around the needs of each child.
Our program is child-centered to integrate physical, cognitive, social, emotional, language, self-help and aesthetic areas for the total development of the child.
Age 2-6 are the most formative years of their lives. GCDS groups children by ability and not by age. Our small, nurturing atmosphere, respects each child as an individual.
Certified by the Department of Education - all of our teachers have degrees in early childhood development with a desire to instill a love of learning and guide the child's exploration.
