325 is a steal...and I'm talking about from where I'm at out in Vienna.

In Cleveland Park you’re looking at a minimum of $325 a week for an in-home daycare and it’s much more for a center.

The second one. You'll probably want to look for an in home daycare.

That’s too low even for an in-home daycare.

Yes I don't know any full time care that is that low. I am at the most affordable in home daycare I know in the close in VA suburbs and even that isn't that low. You will not find quality care at that price OP, it just doesn't exist. I'm sorry.

I generally wouldn't trust any provider that accepts $1k in this area for a kid under 5 y/o. OP outside of moving out *far* into the burbs, you may need to rethink your budget, take a hit on savings, ask for financial help from family or/and consider a parent staying home.

You need to double your budget, at a minimum, for full time care of a 3 month old.

I know, just trying my chances, you never know.
DC is one of the most expensive cities in the world for infant care, even NYC is less expensive.

The latter. OP, could you do a nanny share? The three year old will be easier to place than the infant.

Are you in DC already or planning a move?
