Keeping Families Connected

Our families mean the world to us and keeping them connected is one of our main goals. That’s why we created SproutAbout®, our exclusive family communications app that features live streaming video of the classroom and much, much more.

Welcome to Our School

Welcome to Young School of Kendall Ridge, located in Columbia! Our school is conveniently located in the Long Reach Village area of Columbia across from the Long Reach Community Pool.

We’re honored to have been the first Young School and have continued serving children as young as infants up through pre-kindergarten to this day. We offer flexible full- and part-time schedule options in our programs to meet your family’s needs. Our curriculum is inspired by two internationally acclaimed programs: Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) and the Reggio Emilia approach.

Classes are taught by our dedicated teaching staff who participate in ongoing professional development and training, including maintaining current Infant/Child First Aid and CPR certifications.

We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.

I invite you to schedule a tour to experience what makes our school special and the perfect place for your child to grow and learn. I look forward to getting to know you and your family very soon!

Stephanie Witherspoon, Director

Education: Human Service Management

I have been an early childhood educator for over 20 years. It is truly my passion. I've had the pleasure of working with children from infancy through third grade. While all children are special and deserve the very best we can give them, I know how important those first five years are. I am grateful to be a part of their journey.

Jessica Scheydt, School Education Manager

I have been teaching with the Young School for over five years but have spent most of my life caring for children. I graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts focused in photography and also studied art education. My focus of being the Pedagogical Director (SEM) is giving everyone in our school insight and support with RIE and Reggio philosophy to create a strong community of learners.
