Simon Center in Reston is starting a kindergarten this year. It's almost full.

First Baptists Church of Clarendon Child Development Center is going to have 1 K class. It may be limited to current families but worth calling.

First Steps Academy had spots as of yesterday.

Columbia Baptist had spots in "jr kindergarten"

Appletree offered a wait list

Call around to preschools, many are expanding for a 5 year old class this year.

If you're open to Jewish preschools, Rodef Shalom is opening a 3rd kindergarten class and may have room.

What schools have you looked at? I think Greentree is planning on opening, but their full day K might be full already. Jerusalem Baptist has a pretty big preschool program but may not have full day K, but you could take a look there.

Thanks for letting me get some frustration out...

That is our upper $ limit, but we could make it work.

The Pre-K class was only 10 kids, so it'll be small for K too. They are in McLean, near Tysons.


I don't know why I didn't add this: it's FAZ in McLean.


Missed this. I will give them a call. Thanks again!

I'm in West Springfield. We could make the trip up to McLean--especially as it looks like traffic might stay manageable for the time being. I'm assuming you are happy with your current daycare? I'd be happy to give them a call to express interest!

Catholic schools still plan to go full time in person.
