About

Bel Pre Elementary is a premier primary school embracing the Baldrige Philosophy. Bel Pre School exemplifies all that is proposed in the MCPS Policy on Early Childhood Education. Classrooms are developmental in nature, allowing students to manipulate, construct and experiment with instructional materials for the development of physical, cognitive and social domains. Development of positive self esteem is essential and directly affects student learning. At Bel Pre, we nurture student self-esteem by providing experiences of success and promoting a climate of trust and affection.

We are very proud of our school. We feel we provide a climate which is highly conducive to learning. We have a highly skilled group of very hard working persons who value each child and provide opportunities to make each student successful.

Bel Pre Elementary contains Grades PreK through 2nd grade and is paired with Strathmore Elementary School which contains Grades three through five. The schools are within a mile of each other.
