[quote=Anonymous]I'm expecting my first child in January 2020, and based on what I've read I'm starting to look around for infant care ASAP in hopes that if I get on a couple waitlists super early, I'll be able to get at least one good spot.  That being said, I was wondering if anyone had experience with any of the daycares in the area?  It seems that some people don't like the DOE provider (Bright Horizons), and have had bad experiences with the Children's Place at HUD, but I haven't seen any reviews or recommendations in the past few years.  The biggest thing I want is somewhere safe and healthy for my kid -- has anyone had recent experiences with the infant care anywhere in the area recently?

The accredited facilities seem to be the federal-type places:
- Children's Place at HUD (YMCA)
- FAA/DOT Child Development Center
- Department of Energy Child Development Center
- HHS/ED Children's Center
- Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center
- USDA Child Development Center

There are also several non-accredited facilities that I either pass regularly or found online:
- Fabulous Kids Montessori School
- Growth Spurts Child Development Center at Bethel
- Goddard School (new across the street from the Wharf -- obviously no one has been there since they're still building it, but what do we think of Goddard Schools in general?)

I'm not really attached to anything super fancy, but not having any friends with little kids in area, I'm not sure how to find (or vet if I can find) home-based care.  Any recommendations for that either?  Or the above formal care centers?

Thanks![/quote]
