They have a small parking lot, a couple of spaces for teachers and a couple for those early bird students as this lot will fill up fast! Luckily there is a lot of parking nearby and one can usually find a decent spot. I came by this shop to pick up supplies for one of the online classes they were hosting. Due to covid they are hosting all classes online, which is mostly made up of language classes. You might still have to come by to pick up your text book though so please call ahead before you stop by since their office isn't always open. It was super easy to pick up my items and the young man kept his mask on the whole time which I appreciate. They have so many items for sale in the front part of the school, it was so colorful. I loved the earrings the most! (I wear clip on earrings though- bummer for me!) Outside is a mural of Frida and since I had some falsies on I wanted to mimic her beautiful face in the mural. The class online was so cool and informative- I learn a lot about mexican culture and how to make the sugar skulls from the class. I don't know if they will do this event for the public next year but it cost me only $5 for the skull kit and I bought two so my boyfriend could also make one. We had a great time and truly appreciate this small business.

What is even more amazing is her dedication to her students, her classes are limited to 8 to ensure each student receives the individualized attention they require. The thing I love about this school is not only does Josee teach a second language she also teaches all of the typical material covered in a traditional pre-school setting - math, reading and logic fundamentals. Her curriculum is presented through games and stories which makes it so fun for the kids. I want my grandchild to learn to speak french but I also want her to have fun doing it. I love that for the price of a good babysitter you can give your child a great head-start in school and learn or reinforce a second language.

For years, I've attended their regular classes, summer camp and events/fundraisers they would throw for Chinese New Years. This non profit organization has been active for 20 years for a reason; it's because they value their students values and continue passing on the Chinese culture to "American born Chinese". I definitely recommend this to everyone; you don't have to be Chinese to take part of the classes they are offering. Highly recommended!!!

He's also attends Bridges after school and they've been great too. There has been an incident at school and after school but they've communicated with me. My son of course explains more from his perspective and all lines up. I'm a little bit laid back and not a new age mom so it really depends on your expectations. The point of my son going to this school is to be in the DI program and to grow up in a cultural diverse school. I've debated back and forth with him on going to a local ES and also a top tier school but the local elementary school has really low test grades and the top tier has no diversity. This was my in between. I travel 2-2.5 hrs a day between his school, work and home. To me its worth it. To each is their own.

Terrible principle! Today I witnessed the principal Heidi Garner be super rude to a mom who was…read morethere with her son and wouldn't allow them to come into the school.

The poor boy was crying I'm embarrassed and even though the Principal was told by another teacher that what she was saying was true, the principal said she had the final word. Very low principal Heidi Garden! My child also goes to this school and let me tell you, do your research.. This principle has a lot of complaints on her.

I initiated contact…read morethrough the email provided on the website, and received a response from the admin. assistant a few days later. I had a variety of questions that the website did not answer for me, such as.... Is my child assessed for their current Spanish comprehension prior to being enrolled in one the programs they offer? How is that done? Formal assessment? Is the current class offerings full, or is there a certain enrollment period? For private lessons, do I pick a time, does the teacher pick the time? I find these questions to be simple enough, but sadly it took over a month of ME pursuing this business with phone calls and emails to get all questions answered. I think it odd that I had to go to so much work to try and give them my money. Eventually, 6 weeks later, I was paired up with a Tutor who I thought was going to assess my daughter and determine a class placement and provide me with more information (curriculum, assessments, contracts, commitments, etc.) While she was extremely nice to me, interactive with my daughter and cheerful.... she knew close-to-nothing about The Spanish Immersion Program. According to her, I would be paying Spanish immersion a lot of money to have her come over once a week for an hour and hang out with my daughter speaking conversational Spanish. I don't expect or need a textbook for my kid. But for it being a business that provides a professional service, I was expecting a little something more. To show that I was getting my money's worth. A Pre & Post evaluation that says, "look, we have goals and guidelines and your child is reaching them. See?" Maybe something that says the tutors are background checked, formally trained, and come with prior teaching/tutoring experience. something. anything. I made one last attempt to speak to the Director, who couldn't remember off the top of her head what the rates were for classes PLUS tutoring (because I really don't think the cost and time for one hour a week would be effective). She never followed up, so I ultimately took my business elsewhere.

It is her first language. She teaches AP French at a local private school and has taught college French. She even has a doctorate degree in bilingual education! Wow! She is such a gem. The class is complete immersion. The kids begin the class sitting in a circle and singing French songs and saying greetings. They do a physical activity after circle time. An example is to search the room for certain colors the teacher asks them to find, Ect. The next part includes a coloring activity. The teacher actually goes through every item they are coloring (a bear, a horse, a flower, a carrot, Ect) and questions them about it in French then has them color it with a certain color. The kids are learning while they color. She also has toy visuals of the items that she is having them color. After that, they take a 15 minute break. Later the teacher reads them a story. I sat in with my daughter one day and my daughter understood everything the teacher said. She answered the questions (in English) and even translated for me. This was the first time I realized that my daughter was really learning French. In the beginning My daughter told me it was too hard and she didn't understand. At this point it's a little too easy for her. Her teacher will be moving her to a more challenging class next month. :) Ps. we have no background in the French language.
