Little Language Ambassadors

I can't say enough about how amazing this school has been for our daughter and our family. Her español and overall development blow our minds every day. We wouldn't have been able to do it without LLA. Even more important, LLA has made a wonderful community for the students and families, so when I leave my daughter here, I know she's cared for, safe, and learning so much every day. The maestras are what make it special - they are genuinely wonderful and loving humans that all the kids get excited to see every day. They put so much thought and care into every lesson, event, and holiday, and our daughter has felt so comfortable here since she started at 18 months (she's almost 3 now). It was incredibly important to us that our daughter be fluent in español, which is why we sought a 100% spanish immersion program, but then seeing that she's somewhere where she is making so many friends, happy and thriving too -- we couldn't have asked for a better school!

Some people think starting a child at Preschool at 2 is too early, but we knew our son was ready and we were right. He absolutely loves coming here. Like, no tantrums, happily walks in with his lunch bag. Oh sure, it took him a couple of weeks to get accustomed. It's not a school, it's a community. This really is the only school that's true Spanish immersion. I love the fact that if there's school matters to address, I can send my husband as he's the native Spanish speaker. The teachers have all been here for years and are a good group of friends. We have no place to compare it to because once we started coming we saw no need to go anywhere else.

My daughter has been coming here for two years now, and she absolutely loves it! The teachers do a fantastic job of differentiation, academic rigor, and playfulness. They are flexible with all different temperaments and abilities of children. The love that they have really shows. My husband is a native Spanish speaker so learning this language means a lot to our family. This year, she goes five days a week. As a result, she is now speaking fluent Spanish. These teachers have a strong commitment to the language. They talk a lot to the children. They read a lot to the children. Everything is so thoroughly verbal; it is evident in my daughters Spanish Speaking skills. I recommend this school very highly. The key to the school’s success is passionate teachers, a Director who cares about her teachers, and small classroom sizes.

My son absolutely loves LLA--he wakes up every morning excited to go to school! We chose LLA because it is the only school that offers 100% Spanish immersion, and it has been an amazing decision. The teacher-to-student ratio is excellent, allowing for a nurturing and attentive environment. All the teachers are incredibly friendly and caring--my son adores Maestra Jenni! Additionally, Maestro Enrique's music program is fantastic; my son sings the songs he learns at school all week long. The kids also do a ton of arts and crafts, and my son comes home with multiple creative projects every week. When it comes to safety, LLA has a well-organized system for releasing children to parents, and the teachers are always watchful. My son has never had any issues with other kids, which I believe is largely due to the small class sizes and attentive teachers who foster a positive environment. Since joining LLA, my son's drawing, speaking, and singing skills have improved tremendously. I highly, highly recommend LLA to anyone looking for a top-notch preschool experience!

Raising a bilingual child was a priority in our mixed-heritage family, especially because we didn’t have family nearby. Within 6 months of attending LLA, my son’s vocabulary and enthusiasm for the Spanish language shifted in such a positive direction. It went from a language only mom spoke at home to a language that felt relevant and important to him. There was no other school in North County that offered TRUE Spanish immersion, 100% of the time. I am so grateful for all they did for my son and to help me preserve my heritage language at home. Highly recommend!

As a native Spanish speaker married to a "gringo", having my boys be bilingual is of utmost importance to my husband and me. Having our children introduced to the Mexican culture that I grew up with and that we both love so much was also very important. When we first enrolled our son at 2, he spoke the basics, mama, agua, perro, etc. by the time he graduated LLA to attend Kinder (age 5) at Elementary school, his Spanish was so perfect that he was accepted into a Dual Immersion program as a "native speaker"-- all thanks to LLA! LLA provides language skills and extensive comprehension skills in a very natural way that's easy for any child to learn and comprehend what the teachers are saying (regardless of them being bilingual or not). LLA also assists the kids to develop gross motor and fine motor skills leaving them ready for kindergarten. All the teachers are very dedicated, patient, nurturing and make all the classes fun. Lastly, LLA provided memorable friendships between the children and parents that even after we all have left, we still get all the families together for events or hangouts! I will forever be grateful for this gem of a preschool, truly the best investment for any bilingual household <3 Highlights: 100% Spanish Immersion ALL DAY Face to Face with teacher at pickup (most times you get a quick recap of the day) Maestro Enrique - music teacher, all the kids love him Christmas & Spring Recitals will make you shed a very happy tear Newly Renovated Flooring + Paint

This school is everything what a parent would wish for. I called them on a random day to ask for a tour and Aileen accommodated my schedule and showed me around the same day (a busy day before their open house). Going to a preschool was a new experience for my child and me as a mom. Miss Anamaria took my worried child the first day and assured me everything was going to ok. When I returned to pick him up he was playing and having a good time and showed me all the art he had created on his first day of school. He has been going to Superspanish now for 3 months part-time and he sings songs in Spanish at home. Beautiful! His teachers Liz, Gabriela, Azarely and Enrique are patient, loving and fun. The staffs communicates only in Spanish to each other and the kids. Any staff member you walk into gives you an update about your child in English or Spanish. I know the whole staff (even the non-teachers) and I feel so lucky that my child is surrounded by these wonderful people. They accommodate my crazy work schedule constantly, send me pictures of the activities my child is participating in and make sure he eats his lunch!
