What Parents Say:
We love Let’s Talk Spanish Academy and are so grateful for the dedication, care and love that Mariana brings to making my child and the rest of the children feel so comfortable in their learning environment. Being new to the state of Texas and finding a day care center that was bilingual that my husband and I could trust with our daughter was a big deal for us. We are so glad that we found Let’s Talk Spanish Academy. At our first walk through of the school, Mariana was so welcoming that our daughter did not want to leave. We knew right then and there we have found our place for our daughter to learn, grow, thrive, and most importantly feel safe and protected at Let's Talk Spanish Academy.

We had the pleasure of enrolling our children (Twins) in Let’s Talk Spanish Academy, and it had truly been an exceptional experience. From the caring staff to the engaging curriculum, every aspect of our time at the daycare was nothing short of wonderful. The staff members are not only professional but also genuinely caring individuals who go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment. Our children felt welcomed and loved, which made the transition to daycare smooth and stress-free. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, striking a perfect balance between structured learning and play. Our children were not only exposed to various educational activities but also had plenty of time for creative play and social interaction. Communication with the teacher was excellent. Regular updates, parent-teacher meetings, and open lines of communication made us feel involved in our children's daily activities and progress. Clean and safe facilities also added to our peace of mind. The daycare maintains a high standard of cleanliness and safety protocols, ensuring a secure environment for all the children. Overall, this school has exceeded our expectations, providing a loving and enriching experience for our children. We highly recommend it to any parent seeking a daycare that truly prioritizes the well-being and development of every child.

Bilingualism is a precious gift we bestow upon each child. Beyond the acquisition of a second language, it becomes a source of mental enrichment, shaping thought patterns, and expanding their worldview.

My son has only been enrolled for a few months, but it has made a world of a difference. He has started to learn shapes, colors, phrases, & developmental skills. Mrs.Lira has always kept every artwork and project for us. So we can keep the memories. He looks forward to going to school everyday.
