PP here, I have a toddler. So looking for a program for 1 and 2 year olds.

I am not the OP but also interested as moving to this area.
I'm looking for either a full- or half-day M-F program. Ideally they serve lunch and snacks because I don't want to make them. Definitely would like outdoor time! And a low ratio of kids/teachers.

it’s hard to recommend without knowing what you’re looking for.

What does best mean to you? This will be different for every child and family. The best one for us had a 3 day a week program for 4 year olds because my kid had a summer bday so was one of the youngest plus I wanted some weekdays to do things with just her. Ours went from 925-2 which gave me a chunk of time to get things done alone. I think outside time is important so looked for one with ample recess/outside time. I also wanted lots of learning thru play and not a preschool that had the kids doing work sheets to “ prepare for K”……… so figure out what you want in a preschool OP then go visit some and base your decision on your priorities.

What are some of the best preschools in Vienna or Tysons? Why?
