The food the kids are served is honestly out of this world -- all organic breakfast, snacks, lunch, and goûter. Lunch itself is four standout courses, which still blows my mind for a preschool. The last thing I'll mention is the family community. We've made great friends, and it truly feels like a village.

We are very thankful to have found the LA Spanish School. We are a bilingual household (English and…read moreTurkish) and though it would good for our 3 year old son to start learning Spanish at an early age. Living in a very diverse and multicultural city we understand that our kids need to be equipped with the linguistic and cultural skills for their future. Learning another language is only possible through fully immersion so we were seeking immersive Spanish preschools when we came across LA Spanish School. We fell in love with the school's fully immersive curriculum, fantastic teachers Diana & Mirella and the facility. I cannot express enough how delighted we are with the Spanish immersive preschool program at LA Spanish School. Our son attends the 5 day preschool program. One of the standout features is the dedicated and passionate team of educators who make learning a joyous experience for the little ones. From the moment our child stepped through the doors, -and this was the first time he enrolled in any childcare program- he had a great connection with both teachers. Maestra Diana and Mirella are such sweet, caring and well equipped professionals, it is impossible not to notice how amazing they are with all children. Maestra Diana and Mirella's expertise provide an enriching learning environment. They seamlessly integrate language acquisition into every aspect of the curriculum, ensuring that children are not only exposed to Spanish but also engaged in meaningful and age-appropriate activities. They are very patient nurturing, and skilled in creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere. I noticed how my son quickly learned Spanish words even by the end of his first week! He has been attending the school since fall and is now understanding all the commands, basic words, descriptions etc. Our child comes home excitedly sharing new words, phrases, and songs learned in class. He is very proud to learn another language that neither myself or my husband speaks. He is now teaching us Spanish! This makes us confident in the program's ability to instill a love for the language. Beyond language acquisition, we appreciate the emphasis on cultural exposure. The program incorporates celebrations, traditions, and customs from Spanish-speaking regions, giving our child a broader understanding of the world. This cultural integration fosters a global perspective and instills values of diversity and inclusivity. For example, we celebrated Dia De Los Muertos, Lanterns Night and attended their puppet show at a local park. The teacher go above and beyond to introduce aspects of the culture. The school also has a small community garden which enables the ones ones to be in the outdoors and connect with nature. Our son's favorite time in school is when they go to the 'jardin' to take care of herbs which teacher Diana so generously shares with parents and 'projecto' time where they do art projects. The school also teaches independence and social skills. For example my son learned to put on his shoes, wash his hands, interact with other kids, share and all the important things a preschooler needs to know before heading off to kindergarten. Our son now has friends and both teachers are very patient and nurturing with the children in helping them acquire these social skills. I cannot recommend higher the LA Spanish School to all parents and would like to thank the City of Santa Monica for their support in this fantastic program. If you are looking for a well-rounded, culturally enriching, and academically stimulating immersive preschool experience for your child don't hesitate to register for LA Spanish School. Our family is grateful for the positive impact it has had on our child's early education, and we look forward to continued growth and success in this outstanding program. We love our school and our teachers. Thank you Maestra Diana, Mirella and the City of Santa Monica.

She has a gift for connecting with the littlest ones. The mommy, daddy, and baby class as well as the toddler classes are filled with spanish language, play, gardening, and education. You might not think that once a week for a 1 or 2 year old would yield any measurable results, but kids that young have started singing in spanish and saying words in spanish. Cannot recommend this school or the Diana highly enough.

Warning!!! Be very careful dealing with these people and with Study1Visa…read more I paid $4,280 for study1visa and this school after being told the program could be done online. I later learned that F-1 students are generally required to attend classes in person (minimum hours on campus) to maintain legal status. I clearly explained that I am located in a different state, yet I was still enrolled in a school far away while being repeatedly told the classes would be online. There was no transparency about who was providing the service, no clear credentials, and no proper explanation of the process. After realizing the inconsistencies and requesting clarification and a refund, I was not helped. Because of this experience, I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and reporting both this company and Study1Visa so others are aware. Please do your research carefully before sending money to anyone offering immigration or visa services. I demand my money is returned immediately!

At the time I had just finished my MBA at USC Marshall and was looking to continue learning and challenging myself in the available months I had before I began my new role. I was familiar with Codesmith from their weekly Javascript - The Hard Parts sessions, http://www.meetup.com/build-with-code, and it was immediately apparent this was a well-designed program with serious promise. It was an intellectually challenging experience. My previous programming experience was limited, so the initial learning curve was steep. The full 12-week program is designed around a 30% - 40% working familiarity with Javascript starting day 1, so I had some ground to make up, but I did. Within a few weeks I was working on teams building full-stack applications, browsers games, and a hilarious web scraper that kept you alert of everything Donald Trump was tweeting. The progress I made in a matter of a few weeks was pretty remarkable. Learning by building is the approach at Codesmith, and it's effective. The first weeks of the program cover computer science fundamentals like algorithms, data structures, APIs, and databases, but they are taught via coding challenges and mini projects that merge theory with real world application. Some topics come more easily than others, and some days require an inhumane volume of coffee to finally debug an application, but the rate of concentrated learning is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. The remainder of the program is dedicated to working in teams on group projects. The Codesmith engineers kick off each day with hack hours as well which help you continually hone your coding chops. The building is spacious and crackling with a palpable feeling of enthusiasm and hard work. Everyone is there to help, and you can feel it. I highly recommend the Codesmith program.
