Jardín de Niños Testimonials

My twin girls attend the school and had a hard time adjusting to the language, but we stuck through it with the encouragement of the teachers and administrator and they are both doing great. My husband is excited because he is learning Spanish too. I was always disappointed that I wasn't fluent in Spanish and I hope to give my children this piece of our heritage. The investment in the school for the children and teachers is apparant too. It is encouraging to see where your fees go.

Both my 3 yr old daughter and 19 month old son have been attending Jardin for a little over a year now and my husband and I are very happy with the school, curriculum, and teachers. Both children are speaking Spanish and English exceptionally well and the teachers and director are genuinely concerned for the children's development and well being. We feel very fortunate to have found such a nurturing and progressive environment for our children

Our two children have been at El Jardin since they opened and we couldn't be happier. Our 4 year old has better command of the Spanish language than I do, his native speaking father. My oldest has now started speaking French around the house. His group gets French for 45 minutes a day. Day Care? Hardly. This is a school from the infants class through soon to be first grade. Teaching begins from day one. State of the art learning equipment as well as a new bank of computers enhance the students learning abilities. On all levels, learning is incorporated with physical activity and music. The teachers genuinely care about the students and it shows. This school constantly strives to excel choosing not to rest on their laurels. Magic boards have been purchased, (another learning tool integrated with the computer to enhance child participation and involvement.) and the school is always updating their toys and games and such. Most of the growing pains of start up have gone and with a strong PTO comprised of caring parents this school and its families have grown together. Parental involvement is always encouraged, and solicited. I have spied on my older child many times and it is not unusual to see parents sitting in on classes. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to attend and take part in their child's education. Shows, performances, parties and special events dot the calendar all year long. The summer program is great as well. El Jardin has already, in it's short existence, garnered some impressive awards from the City of Austin as well as the Chamber of Commerce and another that escapes me at the moment. As with everything in this world there is always someone with an axe to grind. I encourage you to see for yourself. Call and set up a time (if you don't have a child enrolled there) to view a class or two and meet the director. You'll be glad you did.

Our 15 month old daughter has been enrolled in Jardin de Ninos for a year now and we couldn't be happier! We visited many daycares and preschools in the area and knew as soon as we visited that this was the school for us. It feels so comfortable and homey, not institutional and over crowded like so many other daycares that we visited. The teachers are amazing too. They all care for the kids as if they were their own. The classrooms are clean, organized, and have so many great learning activities for the children. We were so excited when our daughter's third word was "agua"! To make us feel even better, we found out that two of the pediatricians from our doctor's office send their children to this school as well. The parents are all very involved and dedicated. And the Director is always planning special events and activities for the kids, constantly working to improve the school - both the curriculum and the actual building and grounds. This school is fantastic, a great learning environment and caring place for kids.
