WSC in Alexandria charges something like $2 per kid per hour. My kids love going because they have Barney videos. There are almost never other kids in there (we don't go often so maybe it's busy at other times), but the girl is very nice.

In Alexandria we get childcare for free at Mount Vernon Athletic Club. The same few girls work in the playroom and they are great. My kids (just turned 5 and 8) love going.

Pay 10/mo for two kids (up to two hrs a day) at our gym (Nzone in Chantilly) and my kids love the childcare.

S&H member here. You can pay $10 per visit for childcare or pay a monthly fee for unlimited childcare. This is probably what they meant about your kids being "members".

My kids love the Academy at LTF Teston. Different strokes. I actually upgraded from Fairfax and while I do wish Reston child care was cheaper, I don't complain too much because I love that my kids love to go yo the gym.

Don't get too envious. The gym is awesome (I'm a member at Reston and Sterling), but I no longer pay for my kids to go to the "academy" at reston. Those classes mentioned are sub-par. The "instructors" are low wage barely skilled workers. Even their swim program sucks.
I only take my kids to Sterling now, it is only a few dollars a month and like another poster said, they have a full size court for the kids, which is critical for the older children who find the gym daycare a bore anyways.
Be jealous because of the facilities and the outdoor pool, but not the childcare.
Agree 100%. We go to Reston (it's $40 per kid) because it's walking distance from our house but sterling was much better for $6 a month. I'm constantly thinking about quitting and accepting the drive again though.
Classes are mediocre at best (and non-existent on a late weekend afternoons). And they close early on weekends too...
Or you can do what I do, I quit the kids at Reston and only take the kids to Sterling. However, I don't need the childcare on the weekdays, just weekends, so the drive is no problem. I can still go to Reston for the same price, just not with the kids.
Reston has no classes because it is a ghost town. I think their kids club issue is what keeps many families away. Especially when you can go to the super crappy Reston Sport and Health for a fraction of the price. Granted S&H is a crap hole, but it still gets the job done.

How is the childcare at that Golds? I belong there and would like to take my 4 year old.
It is awesome! The ladies have been there since my 4 year old was six weeks and I have two kids and they are very comfortable there.
