I posted yesterday about loving my small, loving in home daycare in Ballston (right off Glebe near Washington), its not FCC but I checked and from State Theater (just kind of picked the middle of FCC) to her house is just under 4 miles.
I go to the Kaiser Permanente location in Falls church and zip to and from daycare on Washington or Lee Highway or take the 1 exit on 66 very quickly (usually don't even bother with highway).
I'm leaving at the end of October and it breaks my heart but we are dealing with a move (local but still way too far to commute to daycare) and job chance and new baby this fall. I'd leave my son there until pre-school for sure. She does infant through age 3 though (maybe 4?), don't know how old your kiddo is.
I love her, she genuinely loves these kids.
Anyway, she's a native Spanish speaker and we really love the words that my son has gained. He calls water "agua" pretty much exclusively, even though he can say water and even though we don't use Spanish at home. I'm hoping to at least try to keep him going a little with my limited vocab when he's gone!
