[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - Thanks for the advice! I was worried I might be jumping the gun on this a bit, but it sounds like it's not a bad idea to pay a few wait list fees now in order to maximize our options next year if we end up needing them. I was interested in Bambini Golden Triangle, so I think I'll try there and also potentially Bright Horizons L Street. Ideally I'd prefer daycare close to home rather than work (especially since my employer has moved to a hybrid model and I will not be commuting every day), but it's so hard to say where we'll end up especially if we have to rent at first. We'd love to live in NW DC, so I've also thought about getting on the wait list at BCDC and/or St. Albans. Those locations look like they would be decently accessible from a number of different neighborhoods in the NW, but please let me know if I'm off base on that. Given the timing of when we'd likely move (probably late spring/early summer), we'd probably need infant care for a couple of months before our daughter turns 1. Good to know that there may be movement at some centers at the end of the summer though. [/quote]

We are at St Albans and love it, I was very skeptical at first, but after a month or two I eased up and it has been such a great experience for my kids! The teachers are amazing and love the kids so much, the admin for the most part is responsive and understanding, and caring. The parent community is really great and doesn't get too weird as some school/PTA type situations can become.  As for the facility it is big, so it has a library, a playground, a tot lot, a gym for when the weather is crappy, and they are right near AU so they have access to a lot of green space for them to run around. And as you stated the location for ease as a family with some uncertainty as to where you are going to live is great, right next to metro (red line), target, across from Whole Foods, it makes my life a lot easier to just be able to do everything in one trip.
