Did you ask them for references from current parents?

Have you looked at the violations? http://www.dss.virginia.gov/facility/search/cc.cgi?rm=Details;ID=36727;search_contains_zip=22202
I would say the most recent inspection has a lot of troubling violations.

My son will be 4 months when I put him in daycare and I can't get into anywhere else due to long waitlists. I did get a quote for one center for $2000 but Im not sure if I can afford that. Please help, I'm a first time mom.

I'm POSITIVE you can find a home daycare better than this place.

It's a total scam. and her son is nuts. Don't send your child there if you can help it.

I recently removed my child from this facility. Maria Theresa's son is in charge of the center, and he thinks very highly of himself. When you see the facility, it appears cheerful and happy. But if you drop in at random times, the place is chaotic. There are far better options in the area. I have been to other centers at random times of day and have never seen the disorganization I saw at MT's routinely.

Go to MT's if there is nothing else open. But they are probably the worst option in that area.

Any updates on this place in the past year? Good or bad appreciated. Thanks!

I would never recommend that place!

Haha, well that's a big red flag. Imagine a parent wanting to talk to their child's provider-shocking!

I've heard not so great things. Specifically, one mom received an email asking the parents to talk to the staff less.

I don't have any personal experience with this center, but here's their inspection report - http://www.dss.virginia.gov/facility/search/cc.cgi?rm=Details;ID=36727;search_keywords_name=Teresa%20Maria

There are a lot of things here that would concern me - inadequate toys and supplies, safety issues, kids not engaged in activities, teachers who don't speak English, etc.

And search the archives. There have been a number of posts about this place.

Look up their record on the State of VA licensing site...

Any comments? Good bad indifferent. Thanks.
Also, if this is the wrong place let me know
