I am looking for a childcare center for my 2.5 year old. Has anyone heard of or have feedback for Kingdom Kids at Springfield Baptist Church in DC? Any suggestions for a childcare center will be much appreciated!

Bumping this discussion up to see if anyone has any insights in 2014... I haven't yet looked at Kingdom Kids, but it's on my list. I went to Northwest Settlement House at 7th and S and it wasn't too bad.
There's Home Away from Home at New Jersey and R. With so many young kids around Shaw/Bloomingdale/Ledroit I hoped there would be more, good options, but seems there isn't much around. Any suggestions? Anything I'm missing? |

| We live in Shaw and our first daughter went to Bright Horizons East End which was GREAT but $$$$. It isn't in Shaw but easily walkable and on the way to/from downtown. Made for very easy drop offs and pick ups. Every time I walk past the Northwest Settlement house the kids look happy and engaged... I'm interested in hearing from parents who are there as well (we are in a nanny share with our 2nd now) |

My son's preschool, Scrilli School, takes children beginning at 2 years of age. Very affordable ($800/month), run by very loving nuns. We have many families from Bloomingdale, etc. It's been around for decades--a mother in my son's class was a student at the school over 20 years ago!

My daughter has been at the BH in East End for almost two years. We've been very happy there. It's gone through a lot of change with an expansion/merging with another BH center. The administrators handled it well and the majority of the teachers stayed. It is $$$ but worth it. Long waiting list though. |

| Thank you! Just called BH East End, and it's a 12-14 month wait... Unfortunately Scrilli is not in a convenient location for us (too far East). Would be interested in hearing about any other options!! |

thought that might be the case... i always see other kids in big daycare strollers being pushed around the Mt. Vernon area - just not sure where they are. I think there may be one in the big church at 9th and Mass Ave? |
