The Learning Garden

Our 3yo son started here a few weeks ago, so we don’t have much to go on yet, but what we have experienced has been great! The main teacher Patricia is very friendly and always happy to answer questions and report on how your child’s day has been. Since it’s a newer school, the class size is small so kids get more attention and form better bonds. It’s also very affordable and flexible on schedules.
What really sold us on the school is that it’s dual-​language. We have searched high and low and were unable to find any other Spanish immersion or even dual-​language preschools in the city. Many offer a Spanish class, but here they are flipping back and forth between Spanish and English all the time (a more natural way to learn a language). We know our son has a decent Spanish vocabulary but he is always reluctant to speak and try to say words. BUT after 4 weeks at Learning Garden, he came home one day singing the alphabet in Spanish!
The only downside is that they don’t have an outdoor play area, although they do have a big «gross motor «room set up for the kids to work out their crazies.
