Casa Esme Bilingual Nursery School
5.0
During our five years at Casa Esme with two boys, the center was always full of love, patience, and attention. The teachers are all certified and most are native Spanish speakers. Our boys graduated having a large spanish vocabulary from being immersed in the language. It was a wonderful experience.
