[quote=Anonymous]You've gotten a lot of good answers here, but I just thought I'd answer your question about daycares.  I'd say there are quite a few along the Rte 1 corridor.  I've had kids at Sunny Days (Georgetown Hill) and the Center for Young Children at UMD, which are good and great respectively.  We have friends who are happy at the Greenwood School, St. Jerome's, and the Easter Seals at NARA.  UMD is opening another daycare (a Bright Horizons) in College Park soon.  There are also a smattering of home daycares; that's a nice thing about lower real estate prices--daycare operators can actually afford to own homes here.

The best options for elementary schools tend to be Hyattsville, University Park, and Greenbelt, plus the specialty schools like Montessori, French Immersion, Spanish Immersion, and TAG.  Middle school is definitely the big question mark in the area, and we are prepared to go private if necessary through those years.  We are also waiting to see what happens with the College Park Academy.  Most of the teenagers in our neighborhood seem to get into the STEM program at Eleanor Roosevelt for high school.

Oh, and restaurant options are definitely growing.  Franklins and Busboys and Poets are kind of the anchors, but there are a ton of smaller eateries as well (such as Shagga ethiopian, Elevation Burger, Pizzeria Paradiso, Spice 6).  For coffee, there's Vigilante, and then there's a handful of new breweries and distilleries.  The Riverdale Park Station development has a few restaurants, including a Denizens coming soon, and College Park has a bunch of restaurants.  Oh, and I like Sweet and Natural in Mt. Rainier too.

The arts options are also great, especially for kids--Joe's Movement Emporium, Impulse City, Art Works Now, etc.[/quote]
