    I cannot more strongly urge you to avoid association with Go Lingo!. As a former teacher, I know…read morefirsthand what a waste of time and money this organization is. Yes, children benefit from learning a second language starting at a very young age, but Miriam Amittay, who runs Go Lingo! operates a disorganized and chaotic after school program, that can best be described as expensive babysitting. Because Ms. Amittay has no curriculum, no guidelines, and no plan for teachers, students, and parents, everyone receives different information and those who suffer most are the children. Parents enroll their children expecting top-notch language classes in an after school setting; in reality huge groups of kids are herded into corridors and teachers do their best to control the energy that kids bring after a full day of school. This, of course, could be changed by more coherent curriculum, better communication with teachers, allowing teachers access to plans outlined with parents, and a number of other simple steps. However, Ms. Amittay steadfastly refuses to improve her business practices and seems only to want to increase enrollment. I realize what I am saying could all come off as a diatribe from a former, disgruntled employee. So I'll say this: I left Go Lingo on good terms with Ms. Amittay, as I found another job. I gave her two weeks notice. I am writing this because it is only fair parents really know what they're signing their kids up for. If you want your kids to learn another language, hire a private tutor or enroll them in another immersion program. It is a shame that Arlington Public Schools decides to associate with such a low quality organization such as Go Lingo.

    I totally disagree with the bad reviews. Miriam and Perla provide exactly the kind of program I…read morewas hoping for my children, (we are sending the kids again this coming year). The comment about disorganization is contrary to my experience, we decided to join several months late and Miriam made it easy for us to sign up the kids. It's a time to unwind, nicely structured (kids are always kept busy) with nice activities such as cooking, chopping apples for a crisp, pumpkin carving, and dancing, all while immersed in Spanish. They provide a quiet, kind and warm environment, exactly what is needed during the time of day when parents are still at work, but feeling guilty for not having the kids at home. The classes are led by experienced teachers who have been parents themselves, and exude a sense that they understand children.

    This is a review of their week long summer camp options only, and not a review of their ongoing…read moredaycare experience. I'll keep my feedback clear and succinct. I encountered the following issues, which I think are significant problems: 1) The ABC Spanish staff are very disorganized. I signed up for a week in August back in early May and had to reach out twice before getting my kids properly registered. The errors were careless and were easily preventable. 3) The paperwork is pointlessly long and tedious. The forms were stupidly repetitive, and even though we filled them all out and submitted in a timely fashion I still got an emergency phone call from the director on the first day telling me she couldn't find my forms... Is this not something you verify before kids arrive? 2) The summer camp descriptions used in advertising do not properly represent the activities my children ended up doing. At one point, the director of the center told me there would be a concert for the kids at the end of the week, and this did not occur. In addition, the description stated that there would be a parade, and that staff would dress up for the kids, none of which actually occurred. I find this problematic in various ways, not to mention disappointing. There were a series of other little disappointing things that occurred during the week which I don't think are worth mentioning. I just want to make sure other parents are aware of these bad business practices before they sign up their children for a $400 dollar week-long program with this organization.

    After spending a lot of time planning our kids' vacation camp experiences, we parents are nervous…read moreabout whether the kids will end up liking the camps. I hedged my bets and enrolled my twin boys (age 6) in a variety of different one week camps. The first one, beginning Tuesday July 5, was ABC Spanish in Motion, conveniently located in Newton Highlands walking distance from our house. In the days prior: Elias: I don't want go to Espanol school! I don't want to learn Spanish. Me: But think of all your friends who speak two languages (rattled off the names of various friends). Elias: But they speak English! Me: But then you'll be able to speakin Spanish to Tania (favorite babysitter). Elias: I do not want to go. So, July 5 rolled around and there was plenty of complaining from my son. Me: But why not check it out and decide? So we piled in the car (easier than making them walk), along with twin brother Raymong who was *not* complaining. Elias: You're going to stay right, Mom? We're just going to see if we like it. Me: Okay. We arrived at the school, with director Anya Laporta greeting us, showing us the jacket hooks and backpack cubbies, and how to sign in. Elias took one look at the light filled, scrupulously clean playroom set up with enticing different play areas (see pictures) and his faced glowed with sudden anticipation and delight. He scampered in, I was forgotten, and he immediately wanted to start in on an arts and crafts project. As I talked to the director, I heard Elias exclaiming with excitement to the teacher, "I can count in Spanish, uno, dos, tres..." Wow. Was I ever relieved and happy. And also pleased at how beautiful the classroom was. On pickup, I was still a bit nervous: Me: So how was Escuela de Espanol? Elias: Ay-may-zeen! The next day he threw on his clothes with glee and when we arrived at school my son insisted on showing me his art objects (see photos). I may sign up for an additional week later in the summer that I still have open. Thank you Director Anya Laporta!

I though that I would miss my family, my country, or my culture, but being able to spend the day with people from around the world is just priceless and makes me appreciate even more where I came from, and who I am. The quality of the classes didn't have comparison, they are the BEST LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN BOSTON. The teachers at BSML treated me like family, and all the staff made me feel at home. The building is awesome! and I like the fact that there are many activities every day. There's was a brand new table tennis table, a foosball table, baseball gloves and balls, soccer balls and every couple of months the school runs a tournament and provide snacks and drinks for everyone, that was one of the things I enjoyed the most, not to mention my ability to write this review, which months ago, It would have been impossible for me. :)
