Does anyone have any experience (positive or negative) with USDA's Child Development Center (in the Forest Service building) or with Bright Horizon's Finding Dreams in Children (in the FDIC building)?
I have a young toddler, and we are trying to find the best place for him. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide! |

| Best of luck. Parents get on lists for those places when mom is preggo, most won't give up a spot until their child enters K. |

| My DS is at the DOT Child Development Center at the FAA building and he loves going to school every day! We also love sending him there. It is a great center with amazing teachers! I would highly recommend this center, however the waitlist is VERY long. I got on the list 6 months before I was pregnant with my DS and we just got a spot there in January! |

Did you see this thread on the USDA center?

12:52 here. Not necessarily. We got offered spots at both with a young toddler. |

agreed. In DC, public PK starts at age 3, so there are often a lot of spots in 3 and 4 year old classes downtown. Not sure about 1s and 2s but it doesn't hurt to get on the waitlist! |

Have you found a spot? The GWU just opened a new center (looks like their infant spots are filled but you might have better luck with a toddler) on K street in my building and I've heard great things about it from my co worker who has an infant in their school. I went down to visit her son during lunch sometime and these babies were in their diaper playing with paints! Never thought to do that with babies. I gave up on finding a spot for our newborn. |
