It was not the best day to conduct interviews given the brutal weather in Washington, DC. But, we were lucky to bump into a very senior professor in the University and talk to him about his experience with day care services in the area. The professor stated that his wife and he were lucky in a way due to their seniority in the school. They were flexible with their work hours and routines and didn't have to use a nanny or day care for the initial months. But as the child grew, they had to consider day care centers in the area. They didn't want to consider any other day care centers beside the one in Georgetown. The professor said " If you don't apply for the wait list on Day 1, BAD IDEA!". The process is long and painful and feels like making a bet on whether you will get a spot or not, if you don't know how the priority system works in the day care center.
