Child Development Center

Great childcare, wonderful staff. Been very happy. Long waiting list.

God bless you all for all efforts to our kids

My daughter attended the Walter Reed CDC full time from when she was 8 weeks to 3 years old. We were SO sad when we had to PCS (but such is life in the military!) The wait list is a year long and it's worth it. She had wonderful, caring teachers in the infant (0-12 mos), pre-toddler (12-24 mos), and toddler (24-36 mos) rooms. There is a big emphasis on learning, not only things like the alphabet but also how to be a good person (getting along with our "friends", using nice words, etc) and basic skills like serving yourself food, potty training, etc. It is a military daycare, so expect them to be strict in adhering to policy - no glass bottles or cloth diapers. I came in everyday at lunch for a year to breastfeed, and teachers were consistently interacting with the kids. The building (CDC 2) is also beautiful, with tons of light and large windows. We didn't realize how lucky we were until we left!

My kids love this CDC. But we are hourly and in order to get time you have to wake up at midnight a month in advance. Then you only have a 50% chance of actually booking the time. It all depends on if you can click faster than the other parent desperate to get their child in. I missed it last night and was up for another hour laying in bed fuming at myself for not getting the time. ...7 months later, We gave up. I spent about 6 weeks waking up at midnight twice a week to book with no success. Finding childcare sucks...

Great teachers, very caring and trustworthy. I know my children are in good hands here.

Seems like a doctors note is required for everything in this place. Even for butt cream. Forget about home cooked meals for you child, they make it EXTREMELY difficult to feed them anything you cook at home. And the wait list is half a year long.
