Greenbelt Nursery School is fantastic!

Great, thanks. I will look at Greenbelt nursery school. Would a lovely little Latin family fit in there? Just hoping for a good international mix of kids. : )

First, you need to change your avatar/photo. It's huge and really messes with the screen whenever you post.

Another option is USDA Small Wonders. It is located in the USDA facility off Sunnyside Ave (just north of US-1 and the beltway). It's a good facility. The one issue is that it is highly in demand and you may or may not be able to get in without a wait. The facility offers priority to USDA employees, then secondary priority to other Federal employees, and finally community members if there are still available spaces. I had a friend who used it for a short while and thought it was a wonderful facility. She only changed when her mother retired and offered to watch the grandchild 4 days/week (my friend teleworks one day and watches her son on that day with a little help).

If you are willing to come north to Laurel, there is an excellent daycare at the Goddard School located across the street from the Laurel hospital. it is in south Laurel, very convenient to Beltsville.

There are many others, but I don't know much about them. The two I've listed above, I've had friends with young children who have had very positive experiences at those two facilities (I won't recommend the one that we used as we had a mediocre experience and you should be able to find better).

The demographics of the school are pretty diverse as far as race/language is concerned. Not economically diverse at all. Pretty much all middle class, middle income families.
