Here's what parents are saying...

"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".
