[quote=Anonymous]I would get on a few waitlists of places you think are viable options and then vet them to narrow down preferred versus backup options. I put my sibling preference infant on a waitlist at our daycare for a date over a year out (I have a longer maternity leave) back in January/February 2019 when presumably some of those infants looking for same entry date weren’t even conceived yet and we were already 50+ wait list numbers deep for 16 infant spots. This was pre-COVID but I’d still put yourself on lists..... you can get some good info on the local Facebook groups from actual not-anonymous people. The people on this board prefer the same 2-3 Alexandria daycares and I found we were more comfortable with a slightly less expensive, less well-known center (and less competitive wait list).... I definitely think in person visits helps but also ask to read the parent handbook, maybe interview or speak to the director on the phone with some key questions, etc. and that will also give you a good sense of the vibe before putting down non-refundable fees.
