THE NIDO PROMISE

Four things we promise every family.

Small by design, bilingual from day one, and rooted in DC. Here is what every family can count on.

01

Bilingual from day one

Every classroom is led by native Spanish and English speakers. Children grow in two languages at the same pace they grow in confidence.

02

Small by design

Small, developmentally focused classrooms from infants through Pre-K. OSSE-compliant ratios (1:4 for infants, 2 adults per 10 children in Toddlers & Twos, 1:8 for preschool) mean every child is known, heard, and held by name.

03

Rooted in DC

Built by two Latina co-founders who chose DC for a reason. Our curriculum draws on the city we call home — its parks, its art, its neighborhoods.

04

Peace of mind, every day

Licensed by OSSE, secure entry, allergy-aware kitchen, and weekly updates with real photos so you never wonder what your child's day looked like.

CLASSROOMS · ONE NEST

From first steps to first letters.

Bilingual classrooms across three age bands — infants, toddlers and twos, and Pre-K — each meeting OSSE ratios and group-size limits.

1:8 ratio · early literacy in both languages

Pre-K3 (3–4) launches with early bilingual literacy, writing portfolios, and a kindergarten-transition plan. Pre-K4 (4–5) opens in a future phase so children can stay with NIDO through the year before kindergarten.

TUITION 2026–2027

One flat weekly rate for every age.

$750 per week for every classroom — no tier changes as your child grows. Includes two daily snacks, all materials, daily Brightwheel updates, and resource classes (SEL, music & movement, art).

OUR APPROACH

The right environment does the teaching.

  • 01

    Natural materials, real work

    Real wood, real glass, real work. Children learn to care for themselves and their space through materials made to last.

  • 02

    80/20 Spanish immersion

    Most of the day in Spanish, with dedicated English blocks and bilingual transitions. Children hear both languages from educators they trust.

  • 03

    Outdoor time, every day

    Rain or shine. We walk to nearby parks, visit DC's monuments, and grow a small garden right at school.

  • 04

    Family is part of the room

    We send a real weekly note — not a generic newsletter. Parents are welcome to visit, read a book, share a recipe, or just sit on the rug.

Open houses are held monthly. Bring your child, take a tour, meet our co-founders, and stay for a snack. We keep them small — six families at a time.
