About the provider

Right Start Academy was established in 2008. It is MSDE licensed by the Maryland State Department of Education, License #153311. Its mission statement says it blends warm, nurturing care with real academics so a child is nurtured, engaged, and kindergarten-ready.

Tours are typically held Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Virtual tours are available upon request. Part-time students attend only on their designated scheduled days. Children must be two years old prior to their start date. Wait list placement has no fee, but families must complete a tour prior to being added.
