I have a 9 month old and have been in search for a daycare but have not had much luck. I will consider the in-home daycare but the ones I've seen are very small. Does anyone recomend one in this area. I had preferred a place that atleast one of the providers spoke spanish, so my son would pick it up but by this point that is not my priority. thanks for yur help

I hope you arent basing your choice solely on the size of ones house. Mine is small but I have provided care for many children over the years without any issues. We utilize every spot in the house with the exception of my bedroom, which is totally off limits. I would personally say you should be guaging your choice on the provider and their interations with the children over the size of a house, becuase then you would be overlooking someone such as myself who has a lot to offer but doing so in small spaces.

I'm not looking for a huge place, I've just seen some that are super small where I dont see how 7 kids can safely play. Are you in Alexandria?

You could check with Infant Toddler. Their website is www.infanttoddler.com, and they seem to have quite a few providers in Alexandria.

Hey there, my dad, who lives in a Waynewood (22308) just sent me this email today. Too early for me, and probably not what you're looking for, but figured I'd post it.....

"This is my next door neighbor. She is fantastic with the kids as I have observed for some time.

To PP thanks for the info. but I am looking for a place that has more kids so my son can interact with.
But I'll keep her in mind just in case anything changes.
