At Bambinos International Learning Center, we believe your child is a unique individual. We provide a safe, loving, nurturing and creative multilingual environment. We are sensitive to their social, emotional intellectual and physical needs. We provide developmentally appropriate programs that focus on the process of learning while also helping them to enjoy many other successful experiences.

Our Principles

• Quality Educational Programs
• Highly Qualified Staff
• Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio
• Custom Designed Facilities
• Flexible Schedules for Working Parents
• Diversity

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is specifically designed to support the needs of the children at each of their developmental stages. The curriculum is based on hands-on experiential learning since younger children learn best through doing. We give our students an opportunity to explore and learn through inquisition and natural curiosity. Meeting the needs of each unique child is our overall goal while establishing healthy boundaries through a variety of learning activities and experiences.

Our goal is to expose your children to the world. While exposing them to a variety of languages, there are monthly themes incorporated throughout the school starting with the very young in our infant room, and will be incrementally designed to challenge each level of learning all the way through our Kindergarten class. A well-loved children’s book author will be featured each month. Diversity is celebrated through international holidays and celebrations.

Our Kindergarten Classroom exceeds the minimum standards defined by the Department of Education.

We offer flexible and extended hours

• Monday to Thursday 6:30am - 6:00pm
• Friday 6:30am - 11:00pm
• Saturday 9:00am - 6:00pm
