More than a day care.
A second home.

Pequeñitos Day Care sits quietly on NE 73rd Ave in Portland's vibrant Northeast neighborhood — a place where children are known by name, not by number. Our home-based setting offers the kind of warmth and personal attention that large centers simply can't replicate.

We believe early childhood is not something to rush through. It's a season of wonder, and every child learns at their own pace. Our bilingual approach — English and Spanish — gives your child a natural advantage while building confidence in communication and self-expression.

Love & Safety Every corner of our home is child-proofed, and every interaction is guided by patience and care.
Bilingual Immersion Spanish and English woven naturally into play, stories, and daily routines.
Play-Based Learning Structured activities that spark creativity, problem-solving, and social skills.

Programs built for
every stage.

Age-appropriate care that meets your child where they are — and gently guides them to where they're going.

Learning that feels
like play.

We follow a play-based, child-centered philosophy rooted in the belief that young children learn best when they're engaged, happy, and given the freedom to explore. Every activity is intentional — designed to build cognitive, social, and emotional skills without pressure.

1

Observe & Follow

We watch each child's interests and pace, then design activities that stretch their abilities naturally.

2

Explore & Create

Open-ended materials — blocks, art supplies, books, nature — invite imagination and problem-solving.

3

Connect & Grow

Language, empathy, and cooperation are woven into every interaction, bilingual and bicultural.
