What We Do

Learning in Spanish, From the First Morning

At Bambini, every teacher is a native Spanish speaker and every classroom runs in Spanish all day. Children don't translate; they simply learn, the way they learned their first words at home. Most of our families speak English at home, and that's exactly who our program is built for. By the time children leave for kindergarten, Spanish is a language they understand, speak, and enjoy.

A Typical Day

What a Day in Our Care Looks Like

Mornings start with buenos días at the door and breakfast while friends arrive. From there, the day moves through circle time, learning centers, music and movement, outdoor play, a scratch-made lunch, rest, and afternoon activities, all in Spanish, with routines that stay steady so children know what comes next. Your child's teacher will tell you how it went, in English, at pickup.

Philosophy

The Early Years Shape Everything

The early years are a once-in-a-lifetime window, when brains, hearts, and habits all take shape. Our schools are built around that opportunity: safe classrooms, caring teachers, and play-based learning that helps children grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Why Our Families Trust Us

Agathe Farrage
Bambini CDC - Navy Yard
"As a working parent, trusting your child with someone else for can be very hard. My daughter’s 5 months at Bambini have been a gift. She loves her teachers (as do I) and has learned and grown so much in her short time there. Miss Gladis and Miss Jessica are amazing and I can see the joy on my baby’s face every day at drop off and when I come pick her up. Everyone else I’ve come into contact with (administrators and other teachers) are kind and professional. Couldn’t recommend Bambini Navy Yard more!"
Cristina Garcia
Bambini CDC - Mount Vernon
"Our son attended Bambini Mount Vernon for two years. We would like to convey our deepest gratitude for the amount of care he received and the learning he did during that time. Ms. Nelly and Ms Norma were immensely nurturing and dedicated to the children. They also had yoga and music classes and our son still sings the songs and remembers them fondly."
Paula Castillo
Bambini CDC - Federal Triangle
"Both of our children have attended Bambini, and our experience has been outstanding. The teachers combine genuine warmth with professionalism, making Bambini Federal Triangle a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. We highly appreciate Inmaculada's engagement and professionalism in making sure the center runs smoothly."
Adrian Thomas
Bambini CDC - NoMa
"We love the Bambini teachers so much. They are incredibly loving and caring, our daughter is so happy there."
Eva Sweeney
Bambini CDC - Navy Yard
"We absolutely adore bambini. We’ve had our son there since he was 4 months old. Bambini feels like a family. I think every single teacher knows our sons name by now. The teachers are incredibly loving and kind. Returning to work was an anxious process and I felt so much better once I saw how much his teachers care."
