This will allow you to attend all 7 weeks of camp at your current location. If you choose to INCREASE your enrollment during summer camp, AND plan to attend all 7 weeks of camp, I will honor the monthly tuition amount instead of the weekly amount. You are welcome to add a 7th week of camp at the weekly rate at the other site to help support your child care needs.
Aprende con Amigos-Preschool Academy welcomes all children three to five years of age. Enrollment is based on availability and will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis. We do have some limited space at this time. We are currently operating in stable groups of 10 to ensure that we keep students and staff safe.
At Aprende con Amigos, we understand that children learn best and feel happiest in a calm, predictable and engaging environment. Our daily routine is designed to do just that and much more. Our teachers understand and value the importance of mixed-age and focused-age groups. Therefore, our daily routine allows children to spend time each day in both.
Our teaching approach at Aprende con Amigos, is driven by a variety of research, teaching experience and theories, but Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences is embedded in all we do. Although most schools only value the first two, we value them all and provide a learning environment that utilizes a variety of educational philosophies, methods and strategies to support Gardner's theory.

Aprende con Amigos is fabulous. Our daughter is currently enrolled there and has been for two years. The teachers are wonderful and the pedagogy is thoughtful, full of best-practices, and consistent. The environment feels like a family and Stacey, the owner, is always available to connect (and genuinely cares about each and every child). We cannot recommend ACA enough!

My kid learned so much at Aprende, it's really improved our lives. It's a place he always looks forward to going to, and I'm certain that without them he wouldn't be ready for Kindergarten.
Along with Spanish, my kid learned counting, writing, colors, shapes, and natural science while at Aprende. That experience of having your kid say "Papa, when they dig up dinorsaur bones it's not really bone it's a bone that got replaced with rock" when they're 4 years old is amazing.
Also, the community of parents is great, and we made some great friends at the community events.
Finally, there are just amazing

This school is a very special place and we have missed it dearly since our daughter graduated. It has been a year and she still lovingly speaks about Aprende and her teachers there. Not only did she become almost fluent, while we speak barely any Spanish ourselves, but Stacey also was such a support to all of us parents with her vast knowledge of child development and successful parenting techniques. It was such a supportive loving and educational environment, so well rounded! I wish public schools could be this well rounded. We would definitely recommend them without any hesitation!

Trust is everything when it comes to preschool choices. After attending the open house for Aprende Con Amigos, we were certain this was the preschool for our daughter. Not only has she gotten great experience with the Spanish language, but she is in a very nurturing, imaginative environment with fantastic people. Cannot say enough great things, we are lucky to have found Aprende Con Amigos.

Our son has been attending Aprende Con Amigos for more than a year now and loves it! The curriculum is phenomenal, the structure is oustanding and the Spanish immersion is unlike anything else out there. Our son, Cason, is flourishing in his understanding of both Spanish and English and it has been awesome to watch his development since being in the program. I highly recommend this school both for its rich curricular content and for the caring, passionate teachers that make this program what it is.

We chose Aprende not only because of Stacey's (the director) experience with opening other immersion schools successfully, but also because of her commitment to using modern positive parenting techniques with the children. This has been amazing for helping us to become better parents with support at school and at home. They have amazing staff and we have been impressed with every aspect of what they do here. Thank you so much!

We have had the most amazing experience with the Aprende con Amigos staff, care and services. We were very impressed the school had such a strong development tracking system in place and it shows how highly trained all staff members are and how much they care about their staffs continued education. We are thrilled to see our childs progress in both English and Spanish. We appreciate the communication and the support the school offers and we cannot wait for our second child to attend Aprende con Amigos.

This truly is a great school. And it's a great school first and foremost, and an immersion program second. The curriculum also combines the best aspects of Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia in a way that really works for the kids, and the staff the director has hired...I love them almost as much as my daughter does.
