Annoying that it's not on their website. Maybe it's the one they mentioned in the Mayor's press conference yesterday? Found this Twitter thread that recapped the Q&A portion.

I'm the PP, it was actually in the Mayor's update earlier today. I just watched it (you can watch here at around 18:20: https://t.co/9NinpIW6mr?amp=1) and it says it was Petit Scholars in Brookland, six families affected and three teachers.

How many children?

Does anyone know which Petit scholar campus?

It was the RI Ave one. Friends/neighbors had their child there.

Do you know anything about what kinds of precautions the school was or wasn’t taking? It would be helpful to know what works and what doesn’t.

Do you know how long it was closed for?

Wouldn't it? The virus is everywhere. You can slow the spread by having pick-up and drop-off outside, taking temperatures, keeping small groups that don't share materials, and making very small children wear masks as best they can, but you are not going to keep it at zero inside a daycare when kids are there for for 8 hours a day and community spread is escalating.

The unidentified reporter says those numbers but Dr. Nesbitt and the NBC4 reporting only indicate one person.

6 families and 3 staff is just who they had enrolled and employed at the time since they would not be at full capacity in phase 2

This is such a non-story. Of course there will be cases in child care centers. Why wouldn't there be? Multiple centers in DC have had cases. Mine did too. Nobody knows where the child contracted COVID, but since everyone else the child had contact with at the center tested negative, chances are it wasn't at the center.
