| Hello, we are looking for day care options for this fall for a 3month old and 3.5yo with long hours somewhere in between Mosaic/Dunn Lorring and Virginia Hospital Center. Any recommendations for safe, trusted day cares? Preferably open before 7am and close after 6p but flexible. Thank you! |

| With those hours and two you'd be better off with a nanny. |

| My guess is you are a doctor or nurse at VHC? Ask your colleagues which daycares they use. |

| Look at Winwood Fairfax. They are open 6:30-6. We have had a good experience. |

| There's a Bright Horizons associated with Inova Fairfax that's open from 6AM-6:30PM (I think in another thread you said you'd be at Inova...) |

| Nanny unless you 100% never leave work late. |

| Get a nanny and give your kids a break... those hours are too long and the baby is much to young to stay in a daycare setting. |

| Nanny. Most reputable daycares won’t keep kids for 12 hours. |

+1 With two kids the cost of a nanny is really comparable. |

| Merritt Academy on 50 at Nutley, hours are 6:30a to 6:30p. My 3 yr old is there and we've been happy with it. |

| I know this will sound judgy but I hope you’re asking because you sometimes need early mornings or sometimes need late evenings, but I hope you won’t actually use it for 12 hours straight! |
