Hi, we are looking for a good day care center for our infant kid in Centreville, Mclean and Reston areas. Your references would help us a lot in finding one...

My 2yo has been going to Sully Station Childrens Center in Centreville since about 3mo. We have been very happy with them, and the price is pretty good. It is part of a local chain run by Childs Play, Inc, www.childsplayinc.com. They have a couple of different locations around the area, but they don't all take infants.

I can't understand why this place isn't one of the more sought after centers in Reston. Am I missing something?

I know what you mean, hilsmom. It was far and above the best place when we were looking at daycares in Reston for our daughter. We have been extremely happy there.

It looks like parent complaints frequently trigger inspections there.
Since parents really want to believe that they are using a quality center, I would be concerned about so many official complaints.

I have heard good things about the Reston Childrens Center, but don't know anything about it personally.

I've seen these - they don't concern me all that much. There isn't a center out there that has not had some sort of violation.

Right, but I place a lot more weight on violations based on parent complaints. Especiallly since centers are inspected so infrequently.
