Who We Are

More than a child care, it's family

CentroNía, a nationally recognized, award-winning educational organization provides affordable quality early childhood education, professional development to educators, and family support services in a bilingual and multicultural environment to more than 2,400 low-income children and families.

About Us

We envision a world where every child from birth through age five and their families have equal access to affordable, comprehensive, high-quality care, and education.

Our Values

  • Equity
  • Diversity
  • Inclusion
  • Excellence

  • Collaboration

The Need

Access to quality education continues to be the single most important challenge facing families in the District of Columbia and the greater metropolitan region. Affordable early care and education is critical to keep families working and children on the path to school readiness.

Our Approach

Our holistic approach ensures that the children and families we serve receive the support and encouragement they need to succeed academically, develop a strong sense of community, and live healthy and active lives.
