About Sanabil Learning Center
Children from about 12 months through age 5 attend Sanabil Learning Center, the early childhood program of Sanabil Schools, a faith-based Islamic school in Elkridge, Maryland, founded in September 2021. Classrooms are grouped as Toddler (18 to 24 months), Transition (25 months to 3 years), and Primary (3 to 5 years). The day blends Montessori and the Creative Curriculum with a STREAM model: Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Math. Children learn through hands-on exploration, purposeful play, and choice-driven activities. Arabic, Quran, and Islamic Studies are part of the daily schedule through songs, vocabulary, stories, and age-appropriate memorization.
Sanabil Schools also runs Sanabil Elementary School for kindergarten through 5th grade, Sanabil Frontiers International Academy for middle school in grades 6 to 8, and Sanabil Hifz Academy for Quran memorization. A second campus, about five minutes from the original location, opened in early 2023 and houses kindergarten through 5th grade at 6855 Deerpath Road, Suite D, Elkridge, MD 21075. Elementary and middle school classes use the same STREAM curriculum, with small classes and instruction shaped to each student.
Learning Center tuition is billed weekly and depends on age and how many days a child attends. A five-day Primary week (3 to 5 years) is $249.50, and a five-day Toddler week (18 to 24 months) is $369.50. Three-day and two-day schedules are available, and before-care and after-care cost extra. Those five-day early childhood schedules run from 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Elementary tuition for kindergarten through 5th grade is $8,500 per year, payable in full, as $850 per month over ten months, or as $425 bi-weekly, plus $400 for books and $150 for resources each year. Re-enrollment is $100 a year, and each additional child receives a 10 percent sibling discount.
Every program starts with an interest form and a required Discovery Day, a full or partial day in a classroom while teachers observe learning style, social interaction, and readiness. Kindergarten through 8th grade applicants also submit health and immunization records, prior school records, and standardized test results where those exist. Students with academic or disciplinary concerns may be accepted with conditions. Pre-K financial aid includes the Maryland State Department of Education Child Care Program voucher.

Alphabets Montessori School: Early Childhood Education
After watching Montessori education work for their own son, the owners opened Alphabets Montessori School in 2019. The privately run school and daycare is at 6050 Meadowridge Center Drive, Suite #100 in Elkridge, Maryland, and the family still runs it with Maria Montessori's methods. Children attend from infancy through the kindergarten years. The school is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and visits are by appointment. Care is organized into three age-based programs in a single Elkridge location. The infant program takes children from roughly 6 to 10 weeks up to 18 months in a quiet, home-like room built around early sensory and motor development. The toddler program covers about 18 months to 3 years and focuses on independence, self-expression, and peer interaction. The Children's House (Primary) program runs from about 3 to 6 years and uses multi-age classrooms where older children model for younger ones and the work shifts toward early academics, practical life skills, and social development. Teaching follows AMI principles. Day to day, the school emphasizes small, personalized care, certified teachers, and family partnership rather than a large institutional setting. Meals are organic and non-GMO, and the building is kept nut-free for allergy safety. Staff speak several languages, including English, French, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, and Spanish, which can help families who use those languages at home. Families come from Elkridge and the nearby Ellicott City and Columbia areas, and new families see the classrooms on a scheduled visit.
Children's Magnet Montessori School - Elkridge
Children's Magnet Montessori School in Elkridge is one campus of Children's Manor & Children's Magnet Montessori Schools (CMMS), a Maryland Montessori group that has operated since 1993. The Elkridge location opened in 2016 at 6135 Old Washington Road, off Route 1 and minutes from Route 100, Interstate 95, BWI Airport, and UMBC. It sits on a 9-acre campus shared with a sister school, the Maryland International School, a grade 1 to 12 International Baccalaureate World School. The site includes a large library with an indoor playground, a gymnasium, an auditorium and multipurpose room, a secured entry system, and a large outdoor playground. This campus offers Montessori preschool and kindergarten, so it serves children from roughly age 2 through kindergarten rather than the full infant-to-elementary range found at some other CMMS locations. Programs run from Pre-Primary (about ages 2 to 3.5) and Primary (ages 3 to 6) through an Honors and Kindergarten program, plus a summer program. Classrooms use authentic Montessori materials in a hands-on setup, and teaching follows the Montessori method built around the five learning areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language Arts, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies. CMMS layers its own Montessori Links curriculum on top, tying each month to a theme and a continent study across character development, STEM, and the arts. Beyond daily classroom work, students get enrichment in STEM, Spanish, Music, and Yoga. The Montessori approach, with mixed-age classrooms and individualized pacing, naturally accommodates a range of abilities and learning styles, and the school emphasizes the development of the whole child and active partnership with families. CMMS participates in the Maryland EXCELS quality-rating program through the Maryland State Department of Education. To help with affordability, the Elkridge campus accepts the Maryland Child Care Scholarship (CCS), Child Care Aware of America (CCA), and Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN).

Breakfast and lunch are served daily, with free and reduced-price meals for eligible households, and we offer summer camps.
