So not terribly helpful for the OP.....

I agree you may not be able to get both kids in somewhere together right away. If you can get the 2yo into a center like Karasik, Circle Time,or Bright Horizons you will get prioity for the infant. You could do a nanny share in the meantime. In home daycares are another option but even then the good ones do not typically have a lot of openings.

Would you like a daycare close to Aldi store on Georgia Avenue and Corwin dr? Its 20 minutes walking from SS downtown

For my own experience , I don’t think buenos amigos daycare has knowledgeable staff.

I had a really hard time finding good options. The best I could come up with were Circle time (major waitlist) and Karasik.

I have two at Karasik now and really, really like it. I highly recommend going on a tour and figuring out a way off the waitlist. They generally enroll kids in June, September, and January, but they sometimes do off-cycle. Once you get one kid in, the other gets sibling priority.

We live in Silver Spring and go to Norwood Park Preschool in Chevy Chase, MD - though it's only for 2-5 year olds, and runs from 9:00am - 12pm or 2:30pm.

We are at Bright Horizons at NOAA. Can’t speak to the Infant room bc we enrolled at 2 last Summer, but LOVE the Twos teachers!

Silver Spring covers such a big area--if Bethesda is on your commute, Bethesda Reggio is opening another class for 2 year olds. Near BCC High School off East West Highway.

Buenos Amigos (near Forest Glen metro) takes both ages. They divide up the kids by ages in two facilities (two houses) next to each other. There's often a long wait list, but it's worth calling.

You may have to look at 2 separate facilities or look for a nanny share for the baby and a pre-school for the 2yo. SSDS, Rock Creek, and Evergreen all have good toddler programs.

Fanta Lissitt took care of my child from the time he was 4 months old until we moved him into pre-school. I could not ask for a better environment or a more caring person.

We are very, very happy at vibrantots.

Looking for a 3 month old and 2 year old.
