| Hi! My family and I are moving to Silver Spring in March. I have a 20 month and I’m also expecting in August. I would love a daycare that I can send both kids to. Please send recommendations. Thank you so much! |

That is very hard in SS. Few centers. Goddard, quality time, karasik, bright horizons, mcca at forest glen, ymca for 18 months and up are about it. I luv in woodside and most did inhome or a nanny share. |

| Circle time might work too. But especially for an infant it’s tricky, and there are a ton of in homes around here (we used two over the years and they were great and amazingly fantastic, respectively). |

| Maybe consider a nanny, esp for two? |

| Try Bright Eyes Early Learning Center at Viers Mill ES. No personal experience there but it seemed like a good program and might work with your commute. Can't promise they will have a spot but they don't seem to have crazy waitlists like some other places. |

| People get on waitlists as soon as they learn they are pregnant around here. You'd have to get lucky to have a spot open for an infant on short notice, particularly since you would want a spot for an older kid as well -- although those aren't quite as hard to come by. |

| You will probably enroll the older kid at age two, when spots open up, and then use that kid’s sibling preference to get the baby a spot around his one year bday. That’s super common. |
