Daycare Recommendation for 2 yr. Old in Chevy Chase, DC

[Anonymous]

We're moving to Chevy Chase in a few months and would like to switch to a daycare close to home. We've looked into Montessori schools, but they are too pricey @ $20k-$25k/yr. Can anyone recommend a daycare facility in the area? Thanks so much in advance!

Friendship Childrens Center on Western Ave is definitely less expensive.

Family Academy of Bethesda is the only center with infants and Montessori in the same center.
I would highly recommend them for quality care and structured program.
You need to visit and see for yourself. Not sure about space availability.
Its all year program even for the Montessori (which I love )
This is a must on your list for comparison.

Hi, I'm director of Chevy Chase Reggio. We are at the corner of Bradley and Connecticut. We offer a full day program based on the Reggio-Emilia approach. Since our hours are 8:30 to 5:30 you may consider this day care but we offer a full range of learning activities with our older children enjoying a full preschool curriculum. Please give us a call at 301-951-1885 or email to [e-mail]. We are having an open house on Saturday, November 7 from 10 am to 2 pm. Thanks. Patricia.

Check out Westmoreland Children's Center. They have a couple of locations, but all very near Westmoreland Circle (at the intersection of Massachusetts and Western). It is a preschool with all day options. We did not go this route, but live in the neighborhood and have neighbors that LOVED it.
