[quote=Anonymous]My son was in daycare/preK near my office until this year.  It was a great convenience.  Taking metro with a child isn't fantastic but being able to walk to pick him up or even stop in once in a while to say hi was great.

Now he is in elementary and he is 3 metro stops from my office.  I often cut it very close timewise and somehow it has worked out, but there have been times when the metro was slow and I was concerned I was going to be late.  When DC public transportation is standing between you and your child it can be very stressful.

Last week there was a HUGE delay on the metro. There was no way I was going to be on time as I couldn't even get on the metro platform.  Luckily I left a bit early that day so I was able to hop on the bus.  40 min later I got to  his school with about 3 min to spare.  You just never know.

If at all possible I say keep the kid near you. Preferably within walking distance or a very short taxi/uber ride if there are issues with public transportation or you need to get there in an emergency.

Find a good place and get on a waiting list ASAP.

My center was in Foggy Bottom and I am not familiar with places near the Capitol.  Good luck OP.
