| When should I be looking for in home day care for my newborn? I have been looking and calling every few weeks during my pregnancy and have had no return phone calls from any provider. I would like an in-home day care so I assume they do not necessarily keep waiting lists. I am looking in the Arlington/Alexandria area and will need care starting in late Jan/ early Feb. |

Many of the in-home daycares we looked at had waiting lists, ranging from 4 months to 9 months. I'd start interviewing now and getting on a waiting list at the one you select.
My child recently "graduated" from an amazing in-home daycare in Arlington, Rosita's Daycare which is ran by Rosa Huaman. I believe she still has an opening or two. When/if we have another child, we'll definitely use Rosita's. My daughter loved it there and deeply misses Rosa who did an amazing job taking care of her for over 2 full years. During this time, I never had a single complaint. You can tell just how much Rosa truly cares for the children she takes care of. They become part of her family! Rosa exceeded my expectations for in-home daycare. Rosa cooks homemade healthy food, teaches the kids as much as they can learn, instills great manners, and more. My daughter learned A LOT! She even learned Spanish, in addition to English. When she graduated at 2 ½ years old, she knew the entire alphabet, could accurately count to around 15 (in English and Spanish), and was very prepared for a preschool education (she actually knows more than many older kids). Rosa is very professional and college educated. The age range is infants to 2 1/2. Rosa has up to 9 kids at a time, with 2 full time assistants. Tell her Sophie’s parents recommended you. Rosita’s Family Daycare 6088 8th Place N Arlington, VA 22205 703-241-2806 She is located off Wilson Blvd in Arlington, near the Falls Church border. |
