Chantilly

Daycare near Chantilly — just over the county line

West on Route 50 into Loudoun, against the morning traffic rather than with it. Worth a phone call before you drive out.

If you're in Chantilly proper you're in Fairfax County, and GaGa's House is in Loudoun. That's not a problem, but there are two things to ask about before you commit:

  • Anita is voluntarily registered with Loudoun County, not Fairfax. Voluntary registration isn't a state licence, and she doesn't say it is — the full detail is here.
  • If you're using a Fairfax childcare assistance program or an employer benefit, check how it treats an out-of-county provider. Better to know now than after you've enrolled.

One wrinkle: a Chantilly mailing address doesn't always mean Fairfax — South Riding posts as Chantilly and sits in Loudoun. If that's you, this page fits your situation better.

What you'd be driving to

What's on the Loudoun side of the line.

Three children, one caregiver, ages six weeks to three years — the continuity a centre can't staff for, whichever county you start from.

Infant care →

From six weeks. Naps on your baby's rhythm, not a room's schedule.

Toddler care →

One to two. Fresh air, block towers, and sharing that isn't optional in a group of three.

Two to three →

The year before preschool, spent as the eldest of three rather than one of twelve.

Anita likes to talk on the phone first, then have you come and see the house. No pressure either way.
