Moms: How did you start your search for a daycare?
I know wait lists are ridiculous around here, so I want to start looking for daycare options soon. I'm not even sure where to start apart from Web searches (which are turning up some sketchy results!).
Any suggestions on where/how to start looking? Are there any good resources for NOVA that I haven't found yet?
Or if anyone has recommendations of daycares in Arlington, I'm open to suggestions.

Congratulations!
Feel free to pose this question on the DC area Bump board - we are a very helpful bunch: http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/4236717/ShowForum.aspx
In the meantime, you can take a look at a spreadsheet I made with info about how folks found their daycare. I took a poll in I think 2007 and then again in 2009 - so you'll see the answers. Lot of VA folks answered. you can see that here:

Its kind of overwhelming, isn't it?
I made my own list based on responses I read or asked for on the Bump and DC Urban Moms. We visited 3 or 4 and put down deposits and waited!
