| The parents are the thing that make our Day Care awful... |

Apart from the high (but standard) price? Nothing.
Amazing green spaces, little staff turnover, lots of activities, organic lunch outside every day, weather permitting. Sweet group of kids and active parents. DC's well into elementary now, but I still miss his daycare! |

| No sibling preference. It's so common that I didn't even think to ask. Silly me! So despite the fact that we really like it for older DC, our younger child will be going elsewhere. |

The food is my issue. It's all kid food like chicken nuggets and fish sticks. I think the real problem is the USDA health charts. They need updated to include more whole food and less processed food. Processed cheese isn't the same as cheese.
I also feel like they don't do enough to get babies to sleep on schedule. No video cameras. |

+1 on the food and I agree the USDA charts suck. |

| We LOVE our daycare/preschool and the only real negatives are that they close for a week between Christmas and New Years and every federal holiday, and it is crazy expensive. We have been extremely happy. The administration is amazing and totally on top of everything. I worry we are going to be in for a rude awakening once my son starts kindergarten in MCPS next year! |

| The downside for me was that the daycare was far from both home and work for me (it was a federally subsidized daycare, so the price was worth it). I loved that daycare do much I cried when we had to leave! It was a great experience! |
