[quote=Anonymous]I am the person who posted about a not great experience with BCC and of course will share.  There was no giant red flag which made this a bad place, it was just never a fit for us.  This is not to say that it would not be a good fit for another child.  I can only tell you what my experience was.  My son was just 2.5 when he started.

I did not like how many children were in his class and that it seemed to fluctuate greatly throughout the day and week.

The classroom itself was rather small, as was the area where the children play in the morning and have special classes like ballet.

I was not thrilled with the rate of caretaker turnover.  (I know this is common, but the teachers in the place we are now have been there 12, 16 and 18 years respectivley).

I did not like the fact that all of the children in the whole place used the same playground at the same time.

I am sure that I could have overlooked all of these things in a place that I really felt was right, but I just had this gut feeling that BCC was a business and that the kids were just commodities.  I had the gut reaction that it was not a loving place.

Through a lead of a DCUM posting I ended up putting my son in the Seven Corners Children's Center.  This is a very different kind of center, catering largely to lower income families in Fairfax, but it has been great for us.
