Mighty Bambinis Infant / Toddler Childcare

My daughter attended Mighty Bambinis for a year leading up to preschool. It was home away from home and she still talks about her time there. I’m a pediatric OT, and before that was a teacher, so I was very picky about where we chose to send her. I wanted a place that was warm, nurturing, with a good focus on all areas of development and ample outdoor access. The strong emphasis on sensory exploration and the social emotion piece were big wins. Our daughter came into toddlerhood with constant gentle reinforcement on how to interact her peers and it continues to show. Sharing and turn taking was not easy. As her language developed they gave her the words and skills she needed to be a good friend. This has made the preschool transition so much easier. We are expecting a baby and also feel like the exposure our daughter got to younger babies will be super helpful in her transition to becoming a big sister. Evelyn was always very communicative and the daily emails with photos made us feel like we were right there with our daughter as she got to explore so many new things. We will definitely be looking into sending our next child there as well.

I can’t say enough good things about Mighty Bambinis! My 22 month old has been going (on an as-​needed basis as I work freelance) for about 3 months now. Since I only take him 3 – 4 times a month, it’s been a little harder for him to adjust than if he were to go on a regular basis. But every time I bring him to Bambinis, Evelyn makes an extra effort to make him calm and comfortable when I leave. She and the rest of the staff are loving, gentle and kind. The kids participate in a number of creative and educational activities throughout the day, playing both inside and out. They are also provided with healthy snacks and meals. At the end of the day, my little guy usually doesn’t want to leave because he’s had so much fun!
We also get a full report on how our little mans’ day went, with descriptions of what he did (along with pictures!), how he ate, napped, etc. I love this because it’s so hard for me to leave him all day, and knowing how he spent his day (and knowing it was a great one!) really puts my mind at ease.

Mighty Bambinis is a stellar daycare. They’re extremely clean, provide organic nutritious meals (My kid eats eggplant there!), have thoughtful crafts and activities. They are also very conscientious and super aware of the childrens’ development. The staff are also communicative with the parents, sending updates on a daily basis and text messages as needed.
My son came in as a toddler that was not really talking, not self-​feeding, needed everything done for him. He’s become much more verbal, much more independent, self-​feeding and toilet-​trained. Evelyn and her staff got him ready for preschool. They are so caring and they made it a point to teach him these skills in a nurturing environment.
My family jokes that we have been ruined by Mighty Bambinis. Other childcare providers have a lot to live up to after our experience there.

I have tried a few different daycares as we’ve moved a bit and I have to write a review as this one stands out as the best by far. Evelyn and her team treat us like family and are so supportive. They see any issues with my son as an opportunity to learn and grow together. They are so positive and obviously love what they do. I am amazed by the care and attention they give each child. I get a summary every day with photos and they send home arts and crafts that melt my heart! I feel so confident in their care and highly recommend Mighty Bambinis!

Evelyn and her assistant teachers provide such attentive and individualized care to the kids. My son loves it there. They have really worked hard to build a strong sense of community among the children and families. To transition kids to the program, I was able to come with my son for «play dates» where he could get used to the routines, get to know the kids and teachers, and practice socio-​emotional skills even before we started. Parents get individual emails everyday with photos and a daily record of eating, sleeping, activities and developments. It was so nice to experience the day-​to-​day care they provide and watch the program in action. It made our son and us feel so comfortable to know what loving care he and the other kids get every minute they are there.
In this beautiful home daycare setting, the kids spend ample amounts of time outside exploring in their lush grassy area and also playing on the outdoor patio, which includes a water table, sand table, sand box, tricycles, and a slide. When not outside, the kids are engaged in arts and crafts, cooking, and singing. Field trips include jaunts to Sunnyside Playground, Ingleside Library, CCSF Child Observation classes, and Whole Foods. Evelyn and her staff are incredible. It’s the best daycare we’ve seen. They work do hard everyday to make it that way.

My family is located on the East Coast so I don’t have the luxury of having my mother or family members watch my child. It is a very daunting task trying to find childcare because you are trusting that someone else will care for your child as you would. Evelyn helped alleviate those fears and I am very thankful to have found such an attentive and caring individual watch my daughter. Thank You!
Choosing to work with Evelyn was an easy decision. She is a patient, kind, and creative person and this is quite evident while watching her interact with my daughter as well as her own child. She took the time to create a healthy meal for my daughter, engaged her in several activities throughout the day, and really tries to work with your own personal needs.

Evelyn is wonderful with infants and toddlers! I met her just before giving birth to my son in December of 2013. She was extremely helpful to me before and after he was born, offering support via her presence and her current experiences with her newly born daughter Noelle. She began watching Brayden for me when he was about 2 months old. Noelle quickly became his best friend and her mom, Evelyn, became his #1 caregiver! She treated him as though he was her own and always made me feel completely comfortable and confident in leaving him with her. Over this past year Brayden has grown to love going to their home to spend time exploring new things, having fun and interacting with with Noelle and their family dog Nina. I feel very lucky to have met Evelyn just before Brayden was born as she has proved to be an asset in his first year’s development in addition to helping me with managing to get through my first wonderful year as a new mom! It is also comforting to me that Mighty Bambinis is a small childcare program with a 1:3 ratio. I know my son is getting the attention & supervision he needs while allowing him to socialize and learn with his peers. Lastly, Evelyn is wonderful at communicating throughout the day. Seeing photos & hearing updates about Brayden’s daytime adventures makes the time that we’re apart go by much faster! I highly recommend Mighty Bambini’s childcare!

Every day I pick my son up, he has a huge smile, evidence of a day full of love, care and play, clearly Mighty Bambinis is his home away from home. Our family was in search of a home day care that aligned with our parenting philosophy of play-​based learning. In speaking with Evelyn, it was clear from the start that she was incredibly intentional with her space layout as well as her ideas surrounding early childhood education. I enjoyed discussing the qualities of the day care such as fostering a community feel, a sense of respect, and a warm-​nurturing environment that supports child led learning and discovery. The outdoor space is the perfect area for our son to explore the natural world. Meal time is family based, and Evelyn is supportive of Baby Led Weaning, which was important to us. I am looking forward to the lunch time cooking opportunities for our son as well when he is older. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found a space that fits our needs as a family, but ultimately feels like a place where our son will grow into a confident, kind, and respectful little boy. Every day I feel fortunate to have found Mighty Bambinis.
