| We are looking at putting our 1 year old in a daycare near DH's new job at West End. We know about the Kiddie Academy and Capital Kids. Would prefer a new-ish facility if possible. Thought I read somewhere there were some new ones opening up. Does anyone have any info on that? |

| Don't send your child to Capital Kids. We did and its one of my biggest parenting regrets. It was awful. |

Im the PP. My experience isn't recent but if its still owned/being run by the older woman who drives the Mercedes convertible with the license plate that says "Cap Kids" I would not enroll. She ran the the place to maximize profits without concern for the well being of the children and we had many issues as a result. Examples would be advancing kids to the next "level" room before they were ready (for example, moving a crawling 9 month old to the 12-18 month old room where all the kids were walking and stomping all over the child) in order move people up off the waitlist (maximum enrollment=maximum profit) when it was not developmentally appropriate for the child. I could go on but I will leave it there. Like I said, my child's time there is one of my biggest parenting regrets. But talk to current parents (or better yet, find parents who have recently left and talk to them). |
