Country Woodland School or Carousel in Anndale?

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I am in the middle of our daycare search and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Country Woodland School in Annandale/Springfield or Carousel Daycare off of Woodburn Road.

Thanks in advance.

My daughter's been at Carousel for eight months, since she was 6 weeks old. I found them on my own, on the web, but then found out that two of my friends also had their kids there. We're very happy with them overall, and my daughter seems to like it. They're reasonably priced, the teachers seem to care a lot about the kids, and we haven't had any safety or health concerns. Their hours are flexible and they don't have any policies we find irrational. They're good at communicating with parents. The director has been there for 20 years and she seems very on top of things. Plus it's convenient to 29, 50 and 495 and Dunn Loring metro. The facility isn't plush, but it's clean and they have plenty of indoor space and a nice outdoor play area.

Feel free to email me at [e-mail] if you have more specific questions. (if you do end up going with them, I'd love it if you said you were "referred" by me and then I could get a bonus.) I believe they do have spots open right now, but possibly not in the youngest infant room.
