Looking for any recent experiences with this center, specifically in the infant room. Thanks.

I've heard not great things. It's also difficult for pick ups and drop offs due to being on the parkway. Check out Hopkins house or American day school.

Ae just got off the wait list. Looking for feedback as well

My kids go to the Montessori across the street. Drop offs for that school would be very, very difficult as it is on the GW parkway (my kids' school has a garage for entry).

If I had a baby, I'd try Hopkins House. We used them for two years with my youngest and really thought they did a great job (more affordable than American Day btw).

After putting down a $150 waitlist fee and a $300 security deposit, we were lucky to find another daycare center that was closer to our work than GBELC. We informed GBELC that we wouldn't be using our spot with two weeks notice, but they refused to return our security deposit. The ladies who work with the kids seem nice, but don't trust their business manager and his cut-throat business practices!

Did the contract state that the security deposit was non-refundable?
