Portland, your little ones
deserve a beginning
that feels like home.
At Pequeñitos Day Care, every child is welcomed into a warm, bilingual environment where curiosity is nurtured, friendships are built, and every day is an adventure on NE 73rd Ave.
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.
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.
Observe & Follow
We watch each child's interests and pace, then design activities that stretch their abilities naturally.
Explore & Create
Open-ended materials — blocks, art supplies, books, nature — invite imagination and problem-solving.
Connect & Grow
Language, empathy, and cooperation are woven into every interaction, bilingual and bicultural.
A home designed
for little explorers.
Every room, toy, and corner is thoughtfully arranged to encourage independence, safety, and joyful discovery.
