Capital Kids DC

Our daughter went to Capital Kids from when she was 10 months old until she was two and a half. We moved to Washington DC from overseas and had no idea where to start when it came to finding childcare, but we were incredibly fortunate to find this wonderful daycare. The teachers always spoke with our daughter with warmth and kindness, and gave her many chances to explore and try new things. They truly brought out the children’s natural smiles. The staff were also very kind and flexible, always willing to help us with our occasional requests. Thanks to Capital Kids, our daughter grew from a baby into a bright, energetic little girl. When our assignment in Washington DC came to an end, we were truly sad to say goodbye, as she loved her time there so much. We highly recommend this daycare.

We love Capital Kids so much! Our daughter started there at ~16mo and has been there for about a year, and is now in the toddler class. We love the community here and the teachers are all so wonderful and loving. They give us frequent updates throughout the day which we love. Would absolutely recommend for anyone!

We sent our daughter to Capital Kids DC from the age of 4 months to 3.5 years-old, and our time at the school was nothing short of magical. From the exceptional teachers to administrative staff, the team at Capital Kids exuded competence, compassion, and care for each child and family’s individual needs. During our daughter’s time at Capital Kids, we saw her confidence and social-emotional development grow leaps and bounds. In a sign of just how special and unique Capital Kids is in the early childhood space, the school sees very limited turnover, respects the contributions of its educators, and is routinely updating its curriculum to reflect best practices in early education. Graduating from this beautiful community has been nothing short of bittersweet. I wish for nothing more than for every family to be fortunate enough to send their child to an early learning program as impressive as Capital Kids DC.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Capitol Kids! From the very first day, it was clear that this is more than just a daycare — it’s a warm, nurturing environment where children truly thrive. My son has been here since 6 months old and he absolutely loves going each day, and as a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than seeing your child excited to learn and play in a space that feels safe and joyful. The teachers are phenomenal — patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’ve created a supportive atmosphere that encourages creativity, kindness, and curiosity. Whether it’s art projects, story-time, music, or outdoor play, my son is always excited to participate and learn something new everyday.

Our daughter attended Capital Kids when she was 2 and 3 years old and we could not have been happier. This is the best daycare in the area (we did a lot of research) with wonderful leadership and educators and we highly recommend it. We live in Georgetown and many of our neighbor kids attended Capital Kids as well with the same great feedback. Capital Kids helped our daughter transition from being home with nanny to a daycare setting very smoothly and updated us multiple times a day about her progress during this transition time which was really appreciated and gave us peace of mind. The leadership and educators were very responsive to any questions or requests we had and they were always very friendly and attentive. We were impressed by the variety of creative activities that kids are offered at this daycare, including many amazing outdoor activities. This relatively small daycare has natural light, small classrooms, great student to teacher ratio and offers healthy food options including warm lunches, so parents do not need to worry about bringing anything. It is very well managed and organized, has many family events, very cute birthday celebrations for children, very special holiday shows and has a great parent community as well. We loved our time at Capital Kids and would highly recommend it!
