About Kolibri
Get to know us!
Our History
Kolibri was founded in 2008 in the Greater Seattle Area, where it quickly became a beloved part of the community. With a deep passion for child development, we dedicated ourselves to creating a space where children could grow in a nurturing, supportive environment while providing invaluable support to busy parents. After relocating to Austin and developing a growing appreciation for this vibrant city, we recognized the need for high-quality childcare and decided to bring Kolibri's services to the local community.
Our goal is to fill the gap in Austin by offering a safe, supportive space where children can explore, learn, and grow. We are committed to bringing the same exceptional care and attention to Austin, providing families with reliable childcare they can trust.
Our Philosophy
At Kolibri, we believe that every child is a unique individual with the potential to thrive when provided a secure, nurturing, and stimulating environment. We provide a safe space where children are encouraged to explore and connect with one another. Our approach is centered on fostering emotional, intellectual, physical, and social development in a way that honors each child's individual journey.
We are committed to creating an inclusive, healthy, and well-organized environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and independent thinking. Our goal is to build a foundation of trust, where children feel loved, protected, and valued as they discover the world around them.
We recognize that play is a child's natural way of learning. It is through exploration, imagination, and social interaction that children develop essential skills. In a thoughtfully planned, interactive environment, we support each child's growth, nurturing their innate curiosity and helping them connect with the world around them.
We embrace diversity and believe that every child deserves an equal opportunity to succeed. We work in close partnership with families, providing regular updates and feedback, and ensuring that our daycare is a place where children and parents alike feel part of a caring, collaborative community.
Our Values
Learning and Exploration
We foster creativity, curiosity, and independent thinking through interactive, play-based learning. By encouraging exploration, imagination, and social development, we provide opportunities for children to explore new concepts, solve problems, and expand their creativity - making learning fun and meaningful.
Communication and Collaboration
We believe in building strong partnerships with parents through open communication and regular updates. By working together and sharing feedback, we ensure a supportive and collaborative environment where your child feels safe, cherished, and right at home!
Health and Wellbeing
At Kolibri, we prioritize the health and well-being of every child by maintaining proper hygiene practices, including regular handwashing and sanitizing, to prevent illness. We provide balanced, healthy meals that meet each child's dietary needs and accommodate any allergies. We encourage physical activity through outdoor play and structured activities, while also supporting emotional well-being by creating a nurturing, secure environment. Additionally, we ensure children have regular opportunities for naps or quiet time to recharge, promoting both physical and mental health.
