Monday Morning Moms will tell you to contact them about 10 weeks ahead of your desired start date but if you lean in a bit, they can maybe start contacting providers that anticipate having an opening in March/April.
For Carelulu, I visited three daycares. The first two were subpar in my opinion (I cried after the visits just at the thought of leaving my babies there) but we really liked the third. However, someone else snatched up the spot before we put down the deposit. Just a warning that it may be trial and error. I think Monday Morning Moms may be more selective, they only accept a small percentage of daycares that apply to be part of the program.
I think Children in the Shoe does part-time. I have heard great things.
Thank you for your recommendations! On the waitlist for Children in the shoe. Is your experience with Olney or Rockville location?
