I live in the Merrifield area and have been searching for a day care facility that has a part-time option for my 16 month old son. We prefer (well, mainly my wife) that it's a school or day care and not any type of nanny-share or in-home type of service.

We thought we had a solution with Merritt Academy as we paid the $50 fee and got on the wait-list last year hoping to use their part-time day care service starting this August. However, they just informed us a couple of months ago that they're doing away with their part-time option, so we're back to square one.

Does anyone know of anything near Merrifield (Falls Church, Vienna, Fairfax)? We only need 2 or 3 days per week, but if we can't find a part-time option, we'll have to go to full-time. My employer offers full-time day care, but it costs $1,700 per month! I'm all for convenience and it looks like a nice facility, but I'm hoping to find something a little more reasonable than that.

Google is your friend...also the Fairfax County Child Care page. A few area churches (e.g., Andrew Chapel) also have well regarded programs. But I wouldn't give up too quickly on in-their-home private providers either. There actually are some very good people out there -- worth the hassle of all the running around and interviewing once you find one. The County page above lists several dozen.
