Our son attends the after-school program and loves it so much he asked to add another day. The teachers and staff are warm and caring, which makes him excited to go to class. He had been hesitant to speak Spanish at home, but now he's eager to use it at school. The mixed-age, mixed-level environment allows him to learn from other students and build wonderful friendships.

Our older son started when he was 2.5, and we were amazed at how quickly he became nearly fluent in Spanish. We also appreciate how communicative and responsive Maestra is, helping us work through things like potty training.

It's a small, tight-knit environment in which each child is able to receive a significant amount of personal attention. The staff combines activity-based play with age-appropriate curriculum to create a solid foundation for future learning. From the Spanish language to positive social development, our kids are learning a ton.

We searched far and wide for the ideal preschool for our daughters - somewhere with thoughtful curriculum, emotional intelligence built into the development, and a supportive, caring community.

As a teacher and a parent, finding a preschool that provides a safe, nurturing environment while still challenging and engaging my child was a top priority. Welcome Amigos has exceeded every expectation.

The school is a hidden gem on the peninsula. The maestras are kind-hearted and genuinely care about every child in the class - our daughter ends every school day with a big hug for them.

In his three years there he's built confidence, academic skills, curiosity, and a genuine love for being at school. It's amazing to watch how proud and confident he is with his Spanish.

I can't say enough good things about Welcome Amigos. My 2.5-year-old daughter started full-time three months ago and absolutely loves it. The teachers are excellent at personalizing care for each student and have built a close-knit community across the school.
