It was Russian daycare there, last year it was clouse because of new director at the Russian Cultural Center. He didnt want kids to be there.

Sorry to revive this topic again, but do you by any chance know if they are planning to reopen the daycare? We are thinking about moving to DC in a year-two and hoping to figure out the Russian daycare situation.

Another question: is there a Russian storytime in NoVa for the "younger" crowd?

As far as I know, there is nothing in DC proper. Maryland has lots of options, Virginia does too. I live in VA so I know these options better:

Metaphor school in Falls Church - full program, preschool, daycare, weekend classes, enrichment activities.

Weekend Russian classes in Arlington:

Virginia Russian Academy:

St. Luke Methodist Preschool has a Russian room

Tyson's Child Daycare - home daycare in Pimmit Hills run by a native speaker principal. She also runs a preschool in Falls Church City.

This sounds good. I will check them out.

There is Art classes for 2-3 years old up to to 4 kids and Russian class for up to 4 kids. Older kids, 5-7 years old doing good with group classes, up to 7-8 kids. You can talk to instructor and request private class or a very small group.

How big are their groups? My DS does really well in small groups (-5-6 people) but gets distracted in a large classroom....

16:28, can you elaborate on why you wouldn't recommend the Lyceum? I am looking for Russian-speaking daycare for my child and was considering checking them out. What should I know about?

Babmi day care in Potomac. Never seem anything in DC. http://www.bambichildcare.org/

Take a look here.

It is large, comprehensive and they provide quality food.

We are also interested in a Russian daycare. Have you had any luck?
Our son is 14m months and we are hoping to find some type of nice situation. At the moment he is living with his grandparents at the dacha, but when we get back to DC in September we will need to arrange a full-time care situation. If you've found something, we'd be so happy to learn about it. If you havn't, would your situation lend itself to a nannyshare?

Does anyone know of a Russian daycare in Washington DC?
