A family-founded program where children are truly known, deeply nurtured, and prepared for everything ahead.
Both programs were designed around one question:
"Would this be good enough for our own daughters?"
Home-like warmth for the earliest years.
Bilingual roots, boundless futures.
Hungry Caterpillars began while we were expecting our first daughter. Childcare was already part of our lives. Bryan grew up watching his mother care for children for decades, building a program rooted in love, structure, and trust. That experience shaped how we understand what young children truly need.
As we prepared to start our own family, we imagined what that kind of care could look like for our daughters and for families like ours. We wanted a place led by people who were not only trained in child development but who were also parents themselves, people who understand the worries, questions, and hopes that come with leaving your child in someone else’s care.
So we built it, first for our daughters and then for the community we love, right here in the city where we were born and raised. Hungry Caterpillars is our way of continuing a family tradition of caring for children, carried forward with new energy, new ideas, and the same heart behind it.
Your child is never a number here. Our small-group model means educators genuinely know each child — their quirks, their pace, their brilliance.
Academic training meets real-world parenting experience. Our team approaches child development with both rigor and warmth.
Montessori. Reggio Emilia. Developmental psychology. We draw from the best of what the field has learned, adapted for our community.
Nourishment is education too. Fresh, organic meals prepared daily — because what children eat matters as much as what they learn.
Children learn through experience. Outdoor adventures, sensory play, and real-world discovery are woven into every day.
You should always know what's happening with your child. Open, honest communication with families isn't a feature — it's foundational.
"Would this be good enough— The question behind every decision at Hungry Caterpillars
for our own children?"
Two locations. Two programs. One unwavering commitment to your child.
