I imagine that we would find more options now that our daughter is older, although at this point we may as well wait to see where we will be for the next set of orders. If anything, I don't like how there is no consistency or transparency from one military child care center to the next, in terms of priority categories. I'm contacting Rep. Donna Edwards to see if she can get some light shed on the waitlists in our area.

The care there has been excellent. Unfortunately, we need her to be in daycare in Montgomery County. Its going to make us sad to leave. We, too, got on the waiting list at WW CDC a long time ago. It still has not panned out. There are some good and inexpensive options in Montgomery County. Its just a matter of the waiting list. Try the community college and the other government agencies. As for driving, we found its easier and quicker going through the city than around. Still brutal. Takes about an hour. Our daughter has been at the CDCII at Bolling since the beginning.
