I prefer a small family daycare. They don't follow and close like public schools

Are you kidding? And what do you do when you Nanny is sick or has to go somewhere due to an emergency or needs to go overseas unexpectedly due to an emergency in her country? It’s a nightmare. At least at a center they have enough staff to cover such instances so we can still work.
Not really.
Most centers, big schools follows the states public schools schedules. So if they close like a holiday, spring break, weather inclement so the Daycare center, prek center will close too

Especially since I work from home and can help, in my potential nanny share situation
Oh wow...good luck!

If you want a nanny share, legally you need to get a childcare license for your home.
This. If you host, you take on liability issues. If you do not host you are sending your child to a home that has not been inspected for safety issues. I'd take a licensed daycare any day over that headache plus your child will have a much easier time when they are 3 and ready for preschool.

pp, you do not have to hire a nanny who needs to go overseas. There are local people too. There are existing shares where kids are leaving and the spot becomes available. As to nanny getting sick, trust me, your kid will spend more sick days with you at home when they become sick (expect roughly 5 days every month in winter, slightly better at all other times). Been there myself except I did not have any other option with my first one.

I just did a tour yesterday. Infant room is 2700 with expected 3-5% increase in either January or March

Never heard back from director after several emails inquiring so my only experience is a poor first impression

No first hand experience there, but quite a few teachers from the downtown Bethesda locations (E-W and BCC) moved to the NoBe location since, I imagine, the commute is better for them. Our kids were sad to see them go.
