  One of my friends takes her daughter to Merrit Academy, I know its in Fairfax I'm just not sure where but she's really liked it there.

  We used to go to Merritt Acadment, just up rt 50 by nutley, so about 2 or 3 miles from you, and loved it.  We never tried their pre-k, as we left when DD was younger, but we have friends there still and they really like it still.

  I'm wildly pro-Montessori, but I'm sorry I don't know specific schools in that area... good luck and wow - twins - your life must be very exciting!

  thanks ladies!  we passed merritt academy and looked them up online.  i was so disappointed b/c it's so expensive.  coming from ohio, i'm not used to paying that much ... i think it was over $1300 a month.  we were paying $974 for Primrose in Ohio, and most people thought it was crazy expensive.  i cant/havent wrapped my head around the 1300 ... at least not since we'll soon be on one income (i'm on maternity leave with all 3 girls).  hmm, maybe i'll see if they have something for part-time.  three days a week would be great for us all!!!

  When I searched for Pre-schools, I found there was no good centralized list.  I would try doing a google map search to see what is nearby.  Does your employer or your husband's have an EAP?  They were pretty helpful in doing a lot of the research for me.  DCUM has a lot of reviews of pre-schools which was helpful.  (I do think it is more DC/Arlington/Bethesda focused than Fairfax, but there is definitely information about Fairfax options on there).

  Part time is a whole 'nother story - you'll have many, many more options if you are just looking for half day or part time.  Actual schools/centers are really $$ but there a blue million part time programs out of churches and such.  HeyJellisy is right, there doesn't seem to be any centralized list, at least not where she and I live, besides literally just looking in the yellow pages. 

  It'll take time to hunt, but I'm sure it will work out.  Good luck!
