I just read that as well. I don't know the poster, so who knows how much merit to give it, but it is certainly worth taking into consideration. I forwarded it to my husband (we are on the list for a future date).


Thanks, I meant to add a similar caveat that I don't know the poster, so can't vouch for its veracity.

I don't think she is paying 10 an hour. I think she is paying more plus benefits.

Hard to get someone with a bachelor's degree to work for $10.00/hour.

Maybe. I seem to recall the state of VA only requires the CDA not a degree for a "teacher" position but the city of Alexandria may have additional requirements.


The City of Alexandria does not have additional requirements, but the director can require degrees for teachers or lead teachers.

I think it's going to be a neat daycare. I saw pictures of the place. I hope they hire great staff. I know a couple families itching for it to open.

Looks like they're pretty close. Has anyone heard about an Open House?

I know there are people waiting for it to open. Their Facebook page gives a pretty good idea about information.

Last we heard, there were construction delays. Haven't heard yet when they will open.
