It’s great you think the space is nice but your child doesn’t care or notice. Your child just wants to be with you or a caregiver. Not other kids and nannies.


I completely agree.

Questionable Troll? Or just very unhappy. Way too negative and not helpful

We're new to DC so don't know much about any of the playgrounds. We live in Georgetown so are near to both Intown and Blue Igloo. We had a chance to see BI just before things shut down, which in the new space looks amazing.

Putting aside all the caveats about admissions, COVID and not knowing how things will be in Sept, which would you choose? Would love to hear pros/cons from some current/recent parents of both.
Thanks
