[quote=Anonymous]I hate to say it, you are not going to have the luxury of being picky.  It is going to be hard for you to find one pace with two open slots at the same time.  If you are even able to find something, you will likely have to sacrifice travel time, hours, and/or cost.  No harm looking at places near work, but then one parent is stuck doing drop off and pickup, availability is not likely to be easier, and it probably won't be cheaper.

My kid used Childtime for two days two summers as backup care when (Shoe) our regular place was closed.  From that limited sample size, it seemed fine. And it might be somewhat more likely to have availability, but I doubt it is that much cheaper than Shoe or other centers downtown or in downtown Bethesda.  Daycare, like most other things, gets more expensive when you move in from Germantown.

A home daycare may be your best option, but it might require hours flexibility.  That, or with two, a nanny isn't always that much more expensive.[/quote]
