Curious Mind Bilingual CDC

Our daughter has been going there since 10 weeks old! She just turned 3! She loves the staff and Ms. B and I will be sad the day she has to move on to pre-school. Highly recommend this as a caring, nurturing, and fun center for any child. It is also great that it is bilingual! She has picked up Spanish and hope we can continue the learnings!

I contacted the center to request information about their PK2 program and they did not have any openings. That was not surprising since DC is a high demand area for childcare from 0-3, but I found it surprising that I was not offered an opportunity to join a waitlist or provide information to be contacted when space is available. The center seems to have great reviews, but the person I spoke with did not see warm or receptive which are key things I look for when exploring a child care center. When I asked if she was the ED, she said "she was." Needless to say, I will not be exploring this center.

It is easy to recommend Curious Minds. Our 1 year old daughter joined the center when she was 6 months. We visited numerous daycare centers in the neighborhood, and felt most comfortable with this one (especially the small size and high staff-to-child ratio). The staff are loving and kind and devoted to her and the other children. They send home adorable crafts that the kids make (mostly hand and foot print oriented given my little one's age!) and upload photos of them playing and at the park. The let you know when your kid is eating, sleeping, etc., through the app (which is comforting and makes it easy to pick up parenting after pick-up). The staff primarily speak Spanish though there is always someone who speaks English, and I'm excited for my daughter to grow with a second language.

The center generally follows DCPS for holidays and is closed during the week between Christmas and New Years, as outlined in the parent handbook.

We've been attending Curious Mind for three years and currently have both our children (a 3 year old and an 11 month old) enrolled there. The facility is clean and secure and well maintained. My kids are happy and well cared for. The staff clearly love our children and take good care of them, which is a tremendous relief to this working mama. My three-year-old is fluent in Spanish despite us not speaking it at home. I can easily communicate with the director and staff via a daily app, through which I also get a ton of info about my kids' day every day, along with pics of them. Bilingual parents have a bit of a leg up in in-person communications, but as non-Spanish speakers, we've still be able to address any questions or concerns we have and the director has always been willing to work through any questions. We have happily recommended Curious Mind as an option for neighborhood friends and other parents for years and will continue to do so.
