¡Bienvenidos a BAHIA!

Bay Area Hispano Institute for Advancement, Inc (BAHIA) was established by and for Latino families in 1975 as a non-profit organization to address an unmet need for high quality, bilingual learning environments where children grow to become successful lifelong learners.  BAHIA is the only full-time, Latino non-profit in Berkeley providing bilingual child-care and education to children ages 2-10.  BAHIA is a respected leader in the community and strives every year to improve the quality of life of children and their families in the community, with a particular focus on Latinos in Alameda County.  

Our Mission

Provide families with high quality, nurturing, bilingual learning environments where children grow to become successful lifelong learners.

To accomplish our mission, BAHIA offers four bilingual child development programs:  Centro VIDA which provides full-day care services to toddler and preschool children ages 2-5; Bahia School Age Program offering after-school care during the academic year and full-time care during summers and holidays to children ages 5-10; La Academia de Bahia provides 180 days a year of AM part-time bilingual care to children ages 3-4 years old; lastly, La Academia de Centro VIDA is a bilingual Saturday pre-kindergarten readiness program for 40 children ages 3-5 years in Fremont, CA.
