Infant daycare in Alexandria?

[Anonymous]

My husband and I live in Alexandria, near the Foxchase Shopping Center. Any recommendations for good infant daycare in this area?
Thank you!

I live near Landmark mall and really liked Creative World in the Eos condo complex. There's not too many choices in this part of town if you are looking for a daycare center. My daughter got off the waitlist, but we eventually decided to go with an in home provider.

I've been looking for infant care in Alexandria too. (Center or home). Closer to Old Town though. Most of the options have such long wait lists and a lot of the home providers I found (via the city social service website) had a lot of violations. How did you find your home provider?

I live near Landmark, too and would love to learn more about in-home providers in Alexandria. I agree that the in-home providers on the city's list had a bunch of violations.

12/27 post here. I went through the infant toddler program and found a great provider near landmark mall. I agree it was hard to find someone in this part of town. There weren't that many that I actually interviewed and ended up opening up my search to kingstown (which was on the way to my work).

What is the infant toddler program?

Check out http://infanttoddler.com/ for more info. Basically, it's a network of inhome providers who receive support and extra training through the program. I really like the fact that I receive emails from the staff members who visit my provider periodically and give me a report about how my daughter was doing the day of the visit. It's very organized and there's backup providers if yours is ill.

Thanks. That was very helpful. I just uncovered 2 more daycares in the Alexandria area that I did not know about. Thanks very much!
