Tita and her team are the best. Our daughter spent a year full-time at First Choice before starting pre-K 3. To this day, our younger daughter drops in at Tita’s when we need some extra help. We have always been so happy with how the staff treats our kids: truly like one of their own. The other children and parents we’ve met have become friends over time, and to my knowledge they all feel the same. We live nearby, and are used to row house spaces, and though I wish there were a big yard, it is a small trade off. The kids often make it to the playground just down the street unless the weather is terrible. pretty par for the course in the city. The trade off is beyond worth it for a place I always felt comfortable leaving my kids and knowing they’d be loved and happy each day. I can’t recommend it enough!

We found First Choice through a neighbor's recommendation, and our 2.5-year-old has attended for over a year now. It is such a loving and warm environment, and the caregivers are wonderful. We get daily updates on activities, meals, and snacks, and our son is quick to say, "I had a good day!" when we pick him up for the walk home after work.

My three kids love going to Tita's! Tita and her staff did an amazing excellent job taking care of my infant son at the time and my daughters. Everyone is so caring and loving and very flexible in terms of schedule and hours. The daycare never closes but for the holidays. They provide healthy meals and snacks. I highly recommend this daycare!

I am absolutely obsessed with this daycare. My 18-month-old daughter has been going here for over a year and is so happy here. I could not ask for more compassionate, kind, and wonderful daycare providers. There's not a lot of outdoor space for the kids to play, but as everyone else has said, it's a small trade off. There's also a great parent community within the daycare, which I love as well.

Our 2-year-old son has been attending First Choice for over a year, and we feel so lucky to have found it. The caregivers are so warm and attentive, and our son loves them so much that he wakes up each morning asking to go see them. They provide a variety of nutritious meals for the kids, and opening hours are great for working parents. The only small downside is the minimal outdoor space, but there is a ton of natural light inside and it's a minor trade-off for the quality of care provided.

Tita and her team are amazing! They've created an intimate, loving, and nurturing environment right in the middle of NE DC. Our child loves going to daycare and we've never had any issues with the care she's received there. The facility is located in a DC rowhouse, so it is on the small side and there isn't much outdoor space in which to play. But that's a small nit to pick compared to the overall quality of the program at this daycare. It is a real gem for anyone seeking childcare in NE DC.

My family used First Choice Daycare for our oldest son Henry and we use it for drop-in care for our youngest son. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and loving daycare. Everyone at First Choice is very nice, warm, caring, and loving to the children. They do a great job of establishing a daily routine and the staff's experience is very helpful as babies get older and parenting becomes more challenging. I would recommend First Choice to anyone in the neighborhood looking for daycare for an infant or young toddler.

Tita and her colleagues at First Choice were the absolute sweetest caretakers for our daughter. First Choice was the first daycare we used for our daughter, and we could not have been more pleased with the experience. They were so incredibly sweet and caring, and clearly love our little daughter so much.
