Parents sometimes worry that bringing up their children as bilingual will mean that they never really master what should be their native language. Research shows this is just not true.
To quote from “The Local,” a Swiss online paper, “Research shows that children can learn to read in two languages at the same time, to the benefit of performance in both languages. Bilingually educated children are shown to read at a higher level than children educated in only language. Bilingualism does more than refine children’s linguistic abilities – it also improves their cognitive abilities. In other words, it makes them brainier.”

NOT AT ALL! Most of our parents aren’t bilingual – but many pick up many words and phrases from their children! So if you’ve ever wanted to learn Spanish, you get a little fringe benefit of having your child attend Centro Armonia Spanish Immersion School!
Actually, it’s the opposite – studies show that learning 2 languages at a young age creates new neural pathways in the brain, which has all sorts of benefits, including a greater ability to focus and task switching – both critical life skills that are a huge advantage in school and future work!
The younger you start with a second (or third!) language, the easier it will be for your child, and the greater the benefits.

We love Centro Armonia! Our son started out in an in-home daycare, which we loved, yet when we moved we had to find a new place to care for him. We knew, ideally, we wanted him someplace that valued relationships with families, created a sense of community, and focused not only on cognitive development yet also on social-emotional and language development. We strongly recommend Centro Armonia and deeply appreciate all of the staff that make the school such a special place.

When we put them in the school last fall, the only Spanish they knew was how to count to 10 and a handful of colors. Now they're correcting me when I try to speak to them. Besides the Spanish, the school is fantastic. The location is new and clean. The activities the kids do during week are fun and engaging. And the teachers really care about the kids. We're also very aligned when it comes to disciplinary philosophies and have to worked together with the school's owner (Claudia) to resolve any issues.

My son has been attending (since age 2.5) preschool here for about a year. During this time, he has grown so much and he has learned so much, including the Spanish language. He previously attended a small family daycare with Spanish speaking providers, but we primarily speak English at home. Almost right away, he began singing songs in Spanish and using phrases that he learned at school.

My wife and I were looking for a pre-school for our 3 year old but really wanted to focus on our son's Spanish at least before kinder garden. We were lucky enough to find Centro Armonia very close to our home. My son looks forward to going to school every day and we have seen tremendous improvements in his Spanish, language and social skills. Besides being a great pre-school for any ethnic background you get the bilingual benefit which your kid will thank you for later in life. Highly recommended!!

Centro Armonia is as good as it gets when it comes to caring for our daughter. All the Maestras at Centro Armonia have become part of our extended family, as they go above and beyond for our child. Since the time that our little one began at Centro Armonia, she's become so social with her amigos, amigas, and Maestras. Our daughter's Spanish is growing daily, and this aspect of her learning is truly transforming our home in a beautiful way.

This Daycare has far exceeded my expectations. My daughter started here when she was 6 months old and now she is 10 months. I was so scared at the thought of having to leave her but seeing how happy she was there and how excited she gets when she sees her Maestras in the morning, reassured me I made the best and right choice for her. The growth I have seen in her is mind blowing. They are miracle workers and do it all with so much love. All of the staff are so caring and loving. I promise you will be so happy you chose them to watch your little one.
