[quote=Anonymous]We put our kid in daycare starting at 3 months and don't regret it for a second. She is learning a lot and loves her teachers and classmates. Maybe we have been lucky, but outside of a bout with Covid a few years ago, I can't remember the last time we had to keep her home due to illness. The way I think about it, kids have to build up immunity somehow so she is either going to get those colds now or get those colds when she starts school.

We go to Tiny Findings in the Judiciary Square/Chinatown area and it has been great. Despite being in a Federal office building, you do not have to be a Federal employee to enroll your child. While there is a lottery if there aren't enough slots and Federal employees do get preference if that happens, they are currently under enrolled and have openings at nearly every level.

Some things that made them stand out for us...Their teacher to baby ratio for infants are lower than required (3:1 instead of 4:1) and when your child transitions to solids they provide breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks so you don't have to worry about that. Other benefits are the long opening hours (7am-6pm), its in a secure federal building with guards, and there is a playground so the kids go out twice a day weather permitting.
