Any experience with the CDC at Anacostia?

[Anonymous]

We will be sending our child to the CDC at the Anacostia Naval base in November. Does any one here go there and if so do you have any tips or experiences you can share?

I know this is an old post but I feel duty bound to add some information.

I took my daughter to the CDC at the Anacostia side of Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling from age three months to one year.

The ONLY reason we left was due to me leaving my job at DoD thus I lost my access to DoD childcare.

I cannot say enough good things about the Anacostia CDC. My wife and I were two new and scared parents with demanding jobs and no immediate family in the area as a support network. The Staff at the Anacostia CDC took outstanding care of not only our daughter but of us as new parents answering questions and mentoring us about the finer points of switching to solids, sleep patterns, various childhood illnesses etc.

There are not words to describe how indebted my wife and I feel to the Staff at the Anacostia CDC. I would recommend this CDC without hesitation to any DoD employee / contractor who is eligible.
