We all learned our first language in a natural way with the day to day interactions with parents, siblings and friends, so it is no surprise that the best way for a child to learn a second language is through full immersion at an early age. At Bubbles 'n Colors we offer classes designed to instruct in a fun and engaging environment.
We use songs, rhymes, games, arts and crafts, story time and other activities to promote learning in a fun environment. Our program is based on non-competitive activities which help children to develop a positive self-image, confidence and love for learning. With us, your child will learn to work as team member, express feelings and ideas, and start being an independent young person.

I'm not happy about writing this review as I don't wish to harm anyone's business, but I have to write about our experience.
Anyway, My daughter joined this daycare when she was 18 months old and we stayed for 5 months until they closed for COVID. To give you heads up, my daughter has a strong personality and is very strong minded. She is also somewhat a picky eater.
Pros:
- The daycare is neat and clean
- It's well managed and organized
- The staff Jasmine and Christina are super friendly
Cons:
- They let my daughter go more than 4 hours without eating anything a lot of

Bubbles n Colors is the perfect environment for my son to grow and be loved. I cant believes the bad reviews thats so not true. Liliana and Cristiana they are both really loving and caring for all the kids.
Its like family! She is always teaching them something new but most important she really educates them. Its not a kid disposal with 20 kids and 1 teacher.
Its a small and loving place, where Felipe is more than happy with. If you are looking a place where your son or daughter is going to be cared as if he or she were with family don't hesitate on Liliana's.
And she teachs them spanish

My son has attended Bubbles n Colors for over a year and really loves it. He is always happy to go every morning and has become more social and eats a wider variety of food now thanks to Liliana, the school owner's encouragement. He has been able to keep up his Spanish, which he learned from his nanny when he was younger, which is wonderful and incredibly valuable to us. Liliana gives a lot of support for potty training and is also incredibly understanding and helpful when it comes to working out a schedule that works for your family. Over the year thus far, I have found that the other families

I think Liliana has not as many reviews as she should. She is beyond amazing, her Day care is closest thing to “home”.
She teach them how to eat, speak, go to the potty, wash their teeth, yoga, games, colors and more.
Spanish for me is more than a plus.
So Felipe is happy every day when he gets there and he doesnt wanna go home when Im picking him up
Thank you Lili ❤️

Nine months in and we still love this school! My son is speaking some Spanish at home and frequently asks me how to say words in Spanish (I put a Spanish dictionary app on my phone so I can look them up quickly). He's not even four yet, but already is telling us he doesn't ever want to leave this school to go to kindergarten :)

We are really glad we found this place. Our daughter started here when she was 20 months and has been coming here for 5 months, and she loves it. She had a bit of separation anxiety for the first couple of weeks when we dropped her off, but ever since then she is so happy to get there in the morning and see her teachers and her friends that when we drop her off she runs in barely looking back. At home, she talks a lot about Liliana and all her amigos, and she seems to be picking up Spanish really fast. Only problem is that since neither of us speak Spanish, she sometimes gets frustrated with us

I want every single parent to know about a situation that happened to us with dealing with this school, specifically the head of the school Liliana. The situation required us to take our son out of this school after only 4 months. They were so welcoming and accommodating at first. They knew that my son had special allergy needs and assured me it wasn't an issue. He attended for 4 months and most recently they complained about him everyday. First they complained that his eczema was contagious and that I had to provide them a note saying he would not get other kids sick. Liliana would complain

Our Son Andrés has been attending Bubbles and Colors for almost a year and we are extremely happy with the care and dedication from Liliana and the rest of the staff. Our Son has continued to develop his communication skills, practice yoga positions and improve his eating habits under the nurturing care of Liliana.
Our son is elated to go to school everyday. We know we made the right decision to send him there.
The one star review is undeserved and without merit. My wife has showed up a few times at different hours and has NEVER heard any yelling.

Our soon to be 3 yr old son has attended Bubbles and Colors for over a year and we couldn't be more happy with the care, learning and growth our son has had. At such a young age, I was very surprised how many things he knew and could identify with as the months went by. Additionally, he regularly uses Spanish phrases at home, has demonstrated yoga to us, regularly counts to 20 in Spanish and 30 in english and has made friends that he references to daily.
The staff are friendly and attentive - they are very nice to the children and I have never seen them mistreat anyone.

I took my 24 month old daughter out Bubbles and Colors after her second half day. As I was walking down the driveway to pick up my child at lunch, I heard my daughter crying uncontrollably at the lunch table and Lilliana was yelling "Don't cry! Don't cry!" I peaked thru the kitchen window and saw my daughter sitting at the lunch table balling. Neither the assistant or the daycare owner (Liliana) did anything to comfort her. Liliana was yelling at the children, scolding and shaming them into eating their food. Luckily I know Spanish so I heard her call the children disgusting

My kid attends Bubbles'n Colors since she turned 2. What a great place! My daughter attends part time, mornings from 8:30 to 1:00 (try to find another place with such an extended part time!) most are only until 12:00 or 12:30. Bubbles also provides full time care.
Don't be fooled by the homely atmosphere (although that's good). They do yoga once a week. Kids are spoken to in Spanish (not any Spanish, but Colombian Spanish, considered the most neutral and pleasant sounding accent of the language in Latin America. Having lived in Spain, I even prefer it over the Castilian accent used

After a very stressful preschool research process we visited Bubbles N Colors. My instant first impression was that it was clean, organized, and a warm place. My daughter takes awhile to warm up to people she doesn't know so putting her in a school with over 30 kids at 2 years old was not a good fit for her. Liliana the owner was incredibly honest about her program and on our visit it was evident that the kids loved her and there was a mutual respect. As a teacher myself it was important for my child to be in a place where she would feel the attention a toddler still needs at this young

My son has been attending Bubbles'n Colors for 9 months and runs to the door every morning he goes.
Liliana provides a warm, fun, playful and guided environment. She communicates how everyday goes that he's there.
He first started @ 2 years old and had a hard time adjusting and so did I, but Liliana called me right away to say he was playing and sent me pictures of him playing.
Now he looks forward to going and seeing his sweet friends who always seem to be laughing and having a good time. All the children are respectful of each other and play well together. I can tell his Spanish

My family is very pleased with Bubbles N Colors. We selected this preschool for Spanish immersion, home-based mentality, and fair pricing. I couldn't be happier. (We had also considered Montessori programs and larger institutions, but they felt too corporatized. I wanted somebody to actually love my daughter, not just change her diaper and take a check).
Liliana, the proprietor, is a kind, brilliant, and energetic woman who treats the children as her own. She balances structure with fun, incorporating everything from potty training and tooth brushing to art and yoga into the routine. My

When I decided to send my then 20-month old toddler to daycare, I searched many places, primarily family-based caregivers in west side LA. The charge ranges between $200-$400/week and the typical place has a ratio of 2:14, which means 1 trained caregiver plus a helper to take care of 12-14 kids. I was not very impressed - some of them run just as a business - pay attention to parents, not kids. All of them are way too crowded to give any sufficient amount of attention to any individual kid. So when I interviewed with Bubbles N Colors, I was pleased that the caregiver does not want to hire help
