At College for Kids, your child learns in Spanish from the very beginning. We are a family-owned, full Spanish immersion early learning center — not a bilingual program where Spanish is a weekly lesson.

Care Member says "My daughter attended the Twin Lakes center for a few months, and we had a wonderful experience. She absolutely loved her teachers, Bianca and Graciela, who were amazing with her during her time in the infant classroom. As a first-time mom, I was very nervous about leaving my daughter in the care of people I didn’t know. However, within just one week, she adjusted so well. The love, patience, and attention from the staff helped her feel safe, comfortable, and happy. "
