Bilingual
Childcare
While we pride ourselves on our excellent facilities and play-based learning programs, it’s our team that sets us apart.
Bilingual Approach
Amigoss Preschool & Long Day Care’s aims to provide opportunities to learn Spanish. We want to ensure that children enjoy the learning process of a foreign language in a relaxing atmosphere. The main outcome is to encourage the children to be aware of the sounds from a different language and aspects of the culture involved within. During different experiences, routines, activities and daily interactions, children have exposure to a variety of vocabulary and expressions in Spanish language.

0-2 years old
Gatos
Welcome to Amigoss. This is our baby room called “The Gatos Room”. In the Gatos class, each learning environment has been specifically designed to meet the individual and developmental needs of children aged 6 months to 2 years. We enjoy providing the space for children to explore new surroundings, and helping them learn different settling routines. Daily, you can expect a maximum group of 4 babies in our room.
Amigoss provides a safe environment and builds affectionate and safe relationships with our babies. We get involved in each child’s learning, establishing a solid foundation for future learning and relationships. In this space, the child can promote not only physical skills but also independent exploration that allows babies to practice and reinforce their motor skills.
As a room leader, my main goal is to provide children with excellent care where babies feel safe, protected and loved. In addition, from my experience as a physiotherapist, an accredited professional in Colombia, I want to help children in their physical and cognitive development through early stimulation, where they can develop their gross and fine motor skills, language (in this case English and Spanish) and socio-emotional skills.
We are pleased to provide comments and advice to parents as well as to receive their opinions, so we will all work as a team for the well-being of children.
We look forward to meeting you on your next visit!

Linces
Welcome to the Linces room, our focus is on providing a nurturing and supportive environment for young children to learn and grow. We love to work closely with each child to ensure that their individual needs are met. We recognize that every child is unique and may have different learning styles, interests, and abilities. We are focusing on providing a variety of different experiences that cater to these differences.
Through play-based learning, we encourage children to develop their creativity, problem-solving skills, and social skills. We believe that children learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process, and we provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities that enable them to explore, experiment, discover and develop their self-skills.
We believe that parents and caregivers play a vital role in a child’s learning and development, and we encourage open communication and regular updates about their child’s progress. We also welcome families to participate in the program and provide feedback on how we can better support their child’s learning.
As the Room Leader, I prioritize the development of language skills, particularly Spanish language skills. We recognize the importance of bilingualism and multiculturalism in today’s world, and we strive to provide children with opportunities to learn and appreciate different languages and cultures. We use music, dance, and repetition as effective tools to teach Spanish and encourage children to practice and use their language skills in everyday interactions. We are committed to providing a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment for children in the Linces room. We believe that every child has the potential to learn and grow, and we are dedicated to helping them reach their full potential.

TESTIMONIAL
We are so glad we found this day care for our daughter. The educators are amazing – thoughtful and nurturing and really love the kids. They work hard to foster a sense of community, belonging and fun while exploring sustainability and diversity. They encourage creativity and mindfulness programs. We are always touched that the teachers notice the small things about our daughter and her personality.
This is a really great daycare centre – we were so happy to be offered a place here. The staff have so much energy and creativity. The centre works hard to keep everyone involved – parents, grandparents, etc – they host events and invite everyone to come along.
Sometimes we pick up our daughter and the educators will be all excited to tell us about some cute thing she did during the day – it really shows how much they care for and pay attention to the kids.
I have been extremely pleased with our Amigoss experience. It has been so reassuring to know that while I’m at work, my 4 year old is in a safe and nurturing environment with dedicated caregivers and teachers who give him love and guidance.
Another standout fact of Amigoss is that most of the carers are perfectly bilingual in English and Spanish! I can’t recommend them more, get on the waiting list today!
Our 9 month old son has been attending Amigoss for a couple of months now and we couldn’t be happier. Every single staff member there is welcoming, friendly and caring. They do their very best to look after your little one and the place is always clean, vibrant and homely. Our baby has already started to form beautiful bonds with the educators and we can see how happy he is when he is there which means the world to us. Thank you Amigoss!

I enrolled my child in this centre when she was quite young. This day care centre has given my child an amazing start to life. She loves it when she’s there, she comes home dancing and singing. Great place, amazing staff, great environment.

Our program
Amigoss is a bilingual childcare in Glebe. We are extremely happy with the childcare center for our son. In particular, the educators are always friendly and positive and there is a wonderful vibe and everything is very well organised. Even though we don’t speak Spanish at home, our toddler son is already fluent in Spanish 🙂 Highly recommended.
Best child care in Sydney. My daughter runs towards the Centre and doesn’t want to leave. What more can a parent want? Here are a few other things:
1) Everyone at the Centre is incredibly warm and caring with parents and kids – it makes a huge difference on the kids
2) They have a lovely balanced and inclusive learning philosophy and community – they have even invited parents to join teachers’ child development classes
3) Our daughter is incredibly happy there
4) Our daughter is growing up bilingual
I feel like everyone at the Centre are friends and partners looking after our daughter, giving her a warm second home and helping her grow.
We are so grateful. Thank you Amigoss team!
My granddaughter has been going to Amigoss for 4 years and our family is very satisfied with the care that she has received there. The caregivers have been wonderful and she is thriving.
Our 2 kids have been going to Amigoss since they were small babies. The carers at Amigoss are so amazing!! Our kids come home each day with huge smiles on their faces and tell us about all the fun things they learned and the friends they played with. I would give this centre 6 stars if I could. I’ve also tried 2 other centres, and while they were also good, Amigoss is definitely our kids and my favourite!
An exceptionally well-run, warm and caring school in the heart of Glebe. Feel very lucky to have our child grow up bilingual, taught by talented educators in a small, attentive environment.
Very professional and friendly staff. They instill an inclusive philosophy and healthy habits for the kids.
Amigoss is a wonderful daycare! The educators genuinely care for the children, provide wonderful activities for them and there is great supervision. My 2 year old son comes home happy and in the morning runs in to cuddle his teachers at the start of each day. So much better than previous daycare we were at!!
