[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also expecting my first in November! I'm already on several wait lists and plan to do tours when things reopen -- hopefully over the summer. It's a bummer to pay wait list registration fees before even seeing the daycare and knowing if it's a good fit, but I'm willing to eat the cost to ensure I have childcare come March. [/quote]
^ Me again. Realized I should have shared more about my process.

I did a ton of research on options near my office (downtown DC) and home (Old Town Alexandria). I scoured the archives of this forum, read blogs and review sites, and poured over daycare websites. I started a list of my favorite options with details on distance to work/home, tuition rates, and registration fees. Then I narrowed it down to my top four (I might need to add one or two more actually) and emailed each center to get information on application process, wait times, and fees. I heard back from all of them within a week with instructions on how to submit the application and fee. None of them provided a concrete timeline for admission (to be expected), but I asked anyway :) Then I submitted the forms and payment (via phone, mail or online). And now I wait!

Happy to answer any questions. [/quote]
