[quote=Anonymous]When we were adopting in 2009 we faced this problem.  We toured the Child Development Center inside the Department of Labor.  We didn't know any of the answers to the usual questions, like "Boy or a girl?", "When will you need a place?", and "How old is your child?"  The staff were very understanding and somehow found a place for our son when my wife was ready to return to work having spent a couple of months bonding at home.  We later learned our son was one of three adopted children in his class.  Our daughter just started there last summer.  It's a similar situation in that we're foster parents to her and she's older than a newborn.  (We're on a path to adopting her).  The teachers there are wonderful, especially for toddlers.  The cost is about $360 a week.  The other plus with this child development center is that it has an outdoor playground, which many in D.C. don't.  The full name is the Esther Peterson Child Development Center at the Department of Labor and the website is nobellearningdol.com.  You don't have to be a DOL employee or to work in the building to send your child to this school.[/quote]
