Children’s House Montessori School (CHMS) looks forward to opening in Del Ray for toddlers and preschoolers in August 2024.
As CHMS prepares the campus for the fall it remains mindful of an important priority: supporting working parents. It also understands that the days are long and the years are short for young families. Balancing demanding professional and personal responsibilities while ensuring their child receives a high-quality education from caring and qualified professionals can be challenging for parents.
CHMS provides parents the flexibility to choose what daily school schedule fits best for their family, offering three options: a half-day program from 8 a.m.-12 p.m., a part day program from 8 a.m.-3 p.m., or a full day program from 8 a.m. to as late as 5 p.m.
CHMS’ Montessori curriculum features hands-on materials, individualized lessons, and socialization. Students progress through eight subject areas that teach them to practice independence and work collaboratively with their younger and older friends.
Their full day Enrichment Program (EP) is a fun and dynamic way for children to end their school day. During EP, students engage in small group outdoor and indoor activities that purposely promote gross motor movement, fine motor skills, and critical thinking. Students learn developmental milestones, like throwing a ball, hopping on one foot, catching a ball, jumping in hoops and more, as they progress throughout the school year. Children also learn to play games like soccer, basketball, and red-light green light, and to socialize with another.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
