[quote=Anonymous]We enrolled our 7-month old daughter at the Semillitas day care program when it opened on Jan. 2, 2013.  So far we have been very happy with it.  The women (it's all women) who work there and care for the children seem to me to be very caring and kind.  The room is big & spacious and well laid out.  Lots of fun things for them to play with.  Also, it is close to Meridian Hill Park, which I gather is a spot where they sometimes go on walks to during the day. It's located at 2100 New Hampshire Ave. NW, between V and W Sts. NW.

Note, it is a Spanish immersion day care, and so you should at least be open to that and/or consider it a plus.  I speak decent Spanish and so I converse with the staff entirely in Spanish when I drop her off or pick her up.  I think they all also speak varying levels of English as well, though I am not sure how fluently since I speak Spanish with them.  I think they also sing in Spanish during the say, read books in Spanish, etc. so keep that in mind.  I am aware and accept that infants who grow up hearing multiple languages may delay their speaking a bit, but when they do speak, they do so in the different languages that they have been hearing.

The cost of the day care is reasonable I think ($350 for full time), and the hours are pretty flexible, from 7 AM to 6 PM.  The location is convenient for our family in Dupont.  We have no complaints.  As the other posted indicated, I think it is a plus that it is owner-operated, and that the women who actually provide the care are the owners of it, and came together in order to start it.  I think they will have more invested in caring for the children and meeting the parents' expectations, and that can only be a good thing for the kids I think.[/quote]
