Here's what some of our many parents are saying... |
"The SIP was wonderful
for our daughter!
We
returned to Sacramento after being in Mexico for 2 years and Maestra Blanca was kind enough to enroll our 3
yr old daughter in classes immediately, which helped retain and improve her spanish speaking abilities!
We appreciated all that Blanca & Elsa did for us and the care they gave our daughter. I was able to sit
in on classes and see how the children were taught and I was impressed. I was very happy that the program
was truly an immersion program and the children were able to understand and adapt to speaking Spanish very quickly.
Her program was well thought out for learning spanish and it kept the children engaged and having
fun! Now that we have once again returned to Mexico, our daughter immediately adjusted to her spanish only speaking
school as if she never left Mexico! Thank you for being so kind to us, our daughter loved your program and
still asks about Maestras Blanca y Elsa! Gracias a todos"

"The Spanish Immersion program has been a vital asset to our daughters
education. Through song, art, music, and play she has been able to acquire the Spanish language. The varying curriculum and
hands on environment allows the students to be engaged, excited, and intrigued. Maestra Blanca's exceptional teaching methods
create a positive and well rounded atmosphere for all children to learn. Along with language development, Kaya is learning
social maturity. We are continually amazed at Kaya's progress and Ms. Blanca's dedication to the children".

"The
Spanish Immersion program with Blanca has been an invaluable experience for my children. I have a four-year old who
is in her second year and a two-year old in her first year. Both of them love "Maestra Blanca" and can't wait
to go to school. We are trying to raise our children bilingual and both of them instantly went from saying just select
words in Spanish to speaking complete sentences in Spanish. I have had the opportunity to sit in on several classes
and Blanca is wonderful. She is able to get all the children, regardless of their exposure to the Spanish language,
to speak Spanish. All studies I looked at said immersion, especially early immersion, is the only way for your children
to learn a second (or third) language. If you are trying to raise you kid bilingual I recommend Blanca and The Spanish
Immersion program".

"We
have been extremely happy with Spanish Immersion Preschool Program (SIP). Ms. Blanca had done an extraordinary work, and has
played a special role in our daughter's first year of preschool by providing a friendly and caring environment that makes
her excited about going to school. Ms. Blanca has truly shown dedication to the children. We are thankful to have found SIP
and will always receive our highest recommendations".

"Blanca's teaching techniques are fun and educational. During class we sing Spanish songs and
participate in hands on play and art activities. Blanca engages the children in crafts and pretend play, teaching Spanish
vocabulary and phrases throughout. She is skilled at keeping distractible toddlers and young children on task and at transitioning
them to a new task. always in a friendly manner.
We are lucky to have found such a qualified and capable teacher".

" A lot of information was covered in a short period of time. Good focus on typical, every day words and phrases.
Subsequent sessions were structured in
response to pupil interest and feedback (i.e, emphasis on learning sentence structure),Teaching exercises were made more meaningful by asking follow-up questions in Spanish....this is
a good learning device,the written exercises given as homework were
a big help".
