About the business
At Jardin Spanish Immersion Academy, we work together as a family to provide nurturing support and early academic skills to each child in our care. Our immersion curriculum is designed to support early acquisition of the Spanish language along with appreciation of other cultures, and provides the early academic building blocks that help children to grow into 21st Century leaders. Through play-based enrichment activities and teacher-led exposure, children learn to respect diversity, value the environment, and develop healthy habits in our clean and welcoming spaces. Our deeply rooted priorities ensure that your child receives only the best while in our care. Take a look at what sets us apart:
Unique Spanish Immersion Curriculum
Early academic achievement remains a top priority at Jardin as we prepare the youngest scholars for Kindergarten readiness and beyond! Our unique early immersion curriculum is designed to promote the comprehension and use of Spanish from an early age. Our bilingual teachers foster an ideal learning environment for each age group we serve, taking care to address both academic and social-emotional skills that prepare lifelong learners. Children are exposed to a variety of concepts through our weekly themed lessons and are encouraged to develop creativity and character through play-based learning. Enrichment activities including field trips, dance, music, art, and more reinforce how fun learning can be. With beginning math and reading built into each day, we are proud to say that our graduates typically score in top levels of Kindergarten entrance tests!
Organic Meals & Environmental Stewardship
Our on-site commercial kitchens freshly prepare natural & organic meals daily for your young one! Our well-balanced meals provide a varied diet and encourages children to expand their pallet beyond chicken nuggets and corn-dogs - your children will enjoy quinoa, avocado, beets, and more! The organic food choices we provide also speaks to our standing commitment to the health and well-being our world, and the little ones that make your world go round! We also provide cloth diapers for infants and toddlers while in our care to reduce waste, and teach through art and play about the importance of recycling and reusing. By serving organic food we vote against pesticides and through outdoor play & preschool field trips we give children hands-on experience in nature.
Come for a personal tour to find out all there is to love about Jardin!

Great center, our 9 month old has been going there since 6 weeks old and she loves it there. They're very attentive and fun. The center is colorful and there's always music playing.

Please read before sending your child to Jardin. Our youngest child attended Jardin for the last year. This brilliant, curious, growing 5 year old child climbed a fence. We were notified of this and we spoke to our son about how to be safe at school when playing on the playground.
40 hours later, we received this voice message:
"This is Victor calling you from Jardin Spanish Immersion Academy. We are calling to let you know that based on the incident yesterday, with (child) exposing himself to danger, Jardin has decided to terminate the services with your family. We will be be sending you all of (child's) items in his cubby via mail this week."
We know it might be easy for you [the reader] to judge us as parents, but both of our children have had successful experiences in other school settings. We moved to Jardin a year ago because it is very close to our house. We noticed some changes in behavior the past few months as staff changed over, but we felt we had a good relationship with the lead teacher.
Our child climbed a fence. He is 5 years old, and kids his age climb. In our opinion, this is not grounds to expel a 5 year old from school.
In response to the request we made to have a meeting following the message noted above, Jardin sent us this reminder:
We have pasted below our Jardin's right to termination as reference from our parent handbook page. 26. We would like to remind you that your family have signed the parent contract in agreement to all of Jardin's policies at the beginning of enrollment.
Termination
We reserve the right to terminate our child care relationship at any time and without prior notice.
Any such termination may be initiated for child behavioral reasons, other reason
(including but not limited to non-payment of tuition.
or no reason. In such as case , we will not be entitled
to payment , or to retain payment earlier received.
With respect to any full days on which we have not provided
care for your child. If we terminate our child care relationship and
if you earlier paid tuition in advanced, we will promptly reimburse you with that portion '
of your earlier payment (s) that we are not entitled to retain under this policy.
This private entity has the right to terminate services for any reason. Our family was notified at 5:30 PM the day before a work day of this termination, without warning or consultation. To be clear, we spoke with our child's teachers/staff 5 TIMES between the incident and the surprise termination. The day after this incident occurred - the same day we received notification of termination - we received first a hand report that our child had behaved well and had a good day. Jardin's choice to exercise its "right" to terminate "at any time" without a doubt blindsided our family.
From our family to yours, please fully consider the impact on our community when a school is allowed to terminate services because a child is being a child. All children deserve to have their strengths and gifts lifted up each day. We will not recommend this center to our family, friends, or neighbors.
