"Manzanitas is a special place. The environment is warm and inviting, the kids are free to create and play, and our kids come home in great spirits. After visiting a number of preschools, we realized we would have chosen Manzanitas even without the Spanish immersion component, which is an extremely valuable added bonus! Our kids both speak Spanish without any trouble and even speak it to each other when they’re at home. We can’t speak highly enough about Manzanitas." -Erica F. (Preschool and Kindergarten Parent)
"Both of my kids love Manzanitas. My older daughter sings songs in Spanish (sometimes to us, sometimes to her dolls), and my younger daughter likes to try out new Spanish words at home. We're very happy with the school!" -Cody W. (Kindergarten and Preschool Parent)
"Charlotte only attends once a week and will transition to two days a week after January, but we are already noticing that she is combining Spanish & English words. But she started asking us for "aqua" & "queso", which is really exciting. Every time I have dropped off Charlotte she is practically running to play, which is nice to see and makes me feel good." -Chris P. (Preschool Dad)
"My daughter sings the monkey song and the bear song. I think she is really liking Manzanitas since she has not even cried or anything with the transition from Mexico to Michigan... so for her to be able to speak and be thought in Spanish has been very helpful to minimize the impact of the change while she learns naturally and at her own pace the English language." -Lucy A. (Preschool Parent)
"Our son absolutely loves Manzanitas, his teacher, and his classmates and friends. Having moved from out of state recently, we feel that Manzanitas greatly helped our son feel comfortable in a new environment by providing care and support in a familiar Spanish-speaking context. We are very please with the curriculum and the wonderful community that Manzanitas is building." -Diana C.
"My children are equally comfortable in both English and Spanish - they are on their way to becoming
'balanced bilinguals' who experience the positive benefits of knowing more than one language. At the same
time, they adore their teachers and have fun with what is a very balanced curriculum!"
"My three children have all attended Manzanitas. It's a wonderful place! The teachers are positive and caring, and just generally amazing. My children have made a lot of friends. The art projects are creative, and the kids spend plenty of time outside. My 2-year-old comes home and sings songs in Spanish" -Hannah
"I am soo glad with Manzanitas, because was until my daughter started here, when I actually can hear her voice in Spanish even when I was speaking Spanish to her the whole time. Thank you."
"Gracias a Manzanitas nuestro hijo se siente más cómodo comunicándose en Español y creo que eso se debe a la dedicación de los maestros. Aparte de tener un currículo muy educativo, también incorporan la música, el baile y trabajos manuales a las enseñanzas. ¡Mi hijo aprende y a la vez se divierte mucho! " -Colin y Liaa
