Potomac Glen Day School Learning is meant to be fun! PGDS believes a child learns best through experience. There is no right or wrong way to do an activity.

Our teachers demonstrate and then the child is free to copy the example or create a new and unique outcome. Our classrooms are set up for a traditional style of learning, where children are being educated while they are having fun. We provide a sound, safe and secure environment that will enable the child to develop both educational and social skills, promote self-concept, and encourage a sense of responsibility and an increasing sense of independence. We are a Christian school that teaches Christian values and the golden rule. We are a school that builds pride and respect for a great nation

Established in September 1992 by Angela Tranquill, PGDS is certified by the Maryland State Department of Education as a non-public school. PGDS is located in the Parish House of the Potomac United Methodist Church at the intersection of Falls road and South Glen. Potomac Glen Day School began as a one-classroom school filled with 7 three and four year olds. Eight classrooms and 130 + students later, Potomac Glen Day School is wonderful success! The majority of our parents (about 95%) come to us by word of mouth. Although academics are a high priority, its charm comes from the warm community based atmosphere.

Yesterday, we were paid a visit by our friends at Fox Chapel Elementary School. Because of the generosity of our congregation, we were able to donate over $1500 in $50 gift cards to ALDI stores and many bags of grocery staples to the families. The children also received Spanish language books donated by Potomac Glen Day School.
