Family-Owned in Washington, DCበዋሽንግተን ዲሲ የቤተሰብ ባለቤትነት

A home where every child comes first.እያንዳንዱ ልጅ ቀዳሚ የሚሆንበት ቤት።

Our Children First Child Development Home began with a simple conviction: that the children of our community deserve care as warm and attentive as their own family's. For more than thirty years, that conviction has guided everything we do — from our home on Hertford Place in Northwest Washington, DC, to the multilingual songs our children sing each morning.

Our Children First Child Development Home የተጀመረው በቀላል እምነት ነው፦ የማህበረሰባችን ልጆች እንደ ቤተሰባቸው ሞቅ ያለና አሳቢ እንክብካቤ ይገባቸዋል። ከሰላሳ ዓመታት በላይ ይህ እምነት የምናደርገውን ሁሉ መርቶናል።

We are proudly multicultural and multilingual, serving families across Northwest DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Children here are immersed in Amharic, Tigrigna, and English — growing up confident in who they are and curious about the world around them.

በኩራት ብዙ ባህልና ብዙ ቋንቋ ያለን ስንሆን በሰሜን ምዕራብ ዲሲ፣ ሜሪላንድ እና ቨርጂኒያ ያሉ ቤተሰቦችን እናገለግላለን።
