The new center will be at the basement of the Trinity Episcopal Church off of Piney Branch.

I talked to Marisol. She is all booked up for infants until July.

OP, do you know where the new center will be? near her current residence?

Try Fanta near the corner of piney branch and university. Her number is 301 439 3235

Thanks for this info.!

OP, I just got a hold of Marisol. She has a home day care over on 7th Place, NW DC. She has openings for infants (I didn't ask for anyone older), but all of her kids are moving into a bigger center in December. Well she hopes to move in December, but she is still waiting to get the license from the city. When she moves she will be able to care for 25 kids! At the home daycare she is charging $300/week, no meal provided. I don't know what the rate wil be at the new center, but I do know that meals will be provided there.

PP: The part time slot that was filled was under 2. She may have openings for over 2. I"m not sure.

For what age? Where in Silver Spring?

Regarding Wanda, I dont think she has openings anymore. My current provider is closing their doors /retiring and Wanda was highly recommended to me. When I called her a few weeks ago she only had a part time (3 days a week available) slot, but that was taken by one of the other kids in my current day care. Last week I spoke with her and I think she said she expect to have more opening early next year, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask. She seems to be very loving. Quite chatty too.

I found this on another post.....Wanda "Nanny" Secrist has immediate openings in her home daycare located on Mississippi between Piney Branch and Sligo. She is fully licensed, offers breakfast, lunch and snacks. Her house has a fabulous playground in the back yard with swings and slides, the inside is bright, cheerful and clean. The days are well structured with circle and story time, arts and crafts and lots of outdoor play when the weather allows.

Our daughter has been with her for two years now and we could not ask for a more loving situation. Please call Nanny directly at 301 588 1739.

O...maybe she doesn't have any oepnings, but she should atleast respond back.

Have you tried looking on craiglist? Not to creep you out, but people do advertise there.....just a thought.

I've called her 3 times and emailed once. She never seems to answer or hasn't responded to my email.

Contact Marisol at (202)276-3437 or e-mail at MAPACL@yahoo.com. I would call rather than email for immediate attention.

Does anyone know of any in-home daycares with openings in Takoma Park or Silver Spring?
