Since2022Los Barriles

I was an English teacher. In 2022 I founded Baja Kids in Los Barriles, with art, yoga and baby classes, and in 2024 I opened Nanis House alongside it: a daycare and preschool for children aged 1 to 3, with English, physical education and dance, and early stimulation from 3 months. Now we are bringing all of that to La Paz and adding what was always missing: a space where you can rest while your child learns and has fun.

Why and how

How we designed the cafe

Baja Kids was born in Los Barriles and opens its cafe in La Paz in November 2026: a place where your child plays, learns and creates while you enjoy a moment for yourself.

The play area
An indoor sand area, play houses, a play kitchen and books, something for every interest, visible from every table in the cafe, so you can take your time while your child plays.
The art and yoga room
A private, separate room for workshops, yoga and crafts.
Ilse leads the classes
I still lead the art, yoga and baby classes. The cafe, the play area and the team grow around that.
You, always close by
A responsible adult must stay on site while your child is on the premises.

A small touch for kids

Pick your animal

Your child freely picks an animal, and we give them a sticker of it to wear on their clothes. That is how we keep track of their time in our areas: the screen in the cafe shows each animal and how much time it has left.
