Hear What Parents Have To Say...
Mis Amigos has provided a solid foundation in Spanish and an incredible cultural experience, plus all the regular curriculum one might expect from childcare birth-age 5. Caring and dedicated teachers throughout, solid kindergarten readiness, responsive and smart administration. We are so pleased that our kids are able to walk into a Spanish immersion kinder class with an incredible base in Spanish and confidence in themselves. It takes a village indeed and Mis Amigos has been all that and more for our family. Highly recommended!

My toddler has been at this center since February and right from the beginning we felt the love. The staff has been nothing but phenomenal and I completely am at ease while my little one is in their hands. This is our first experience in daycare and immediately staff made this transition truly a success. They are kind, warm, welcoming, trustworthy, attentive, and professional. Without a doubt , I highly recommend this provider to anyone seeking or just inquiring about an immersion program for your family.

Our son has been attending Mis Amigos since October 2019 and we have had such a great experience with the staff and program! He is so excited to go to school each day and really enjoys his teachers. I'm consistently impressed with the new bits of knowledge he brings home and his language skills. The Mis Amigos team adhered to clear COVID procedures and were readily available to address any concerns we had. We're excited to send our second child here starting this summer and would highly recommend the program!

We have had SUCH a positive experience with Mis Amigos! Our daughter adjusted quickly to daycare after spending her first several months at home due to the pandemic. Her quick emotional adjustment lets us know she feels safe and is having fun every day. We love getting the updates throughout the day, and most of all the feelings of trust and confidence that her physical and emotional needs are being met. It’s obvious that the staff genuinely care about and enjoy our child, and we would recommend Mis Amigos to any parent.

We are so lucky that Mis Amigos had recently expanded in its Randolph Ave. We have now been at Mis Amigos for 14 months and feel so grateful that circumstances led us to this daycare. The environment is safe, warm, loving, and active. Every week there are new songs, books, sensory activities, and art projects for the little ones. There is frequent communication (daily reports on your child's eating and sleeping; weekly reports; monthly newsletters; and often there will be photos of the day's activities sent to the parents as well). The teachers are caring professionals.

The staff at Golden Valley Mis Amigos worked with me to make sure my son had care right away and we’re flexible on the hours. Since being there they have worked hard to keep my son safe. His teacher works with me to make sure we are teaching the same things at school and at home. I cannot begin to give enough praise for the care my son as received at Mis Amigos. He starts Kindergarten this year and we will be sad to leave them, but I feel assured that he is Kindergarten ready due to the amazing programming he received at Mis Amigos.

The staff at Mis Amigos is so loving and energetic. My children are excited to go every morning. I appreciate the engagement and activities they do throughout the day. They have a very relaxed atmosphere that I feel prioritizes fun and learning over heavy structure. I 100% agree with the previous review regarding the COVID quarantine policies with respect to the full tuition charge. The teachers are wonderful, and with a light at the end of the COVID tunnel, I think they still deserve a strong recommendation.

Our son will be 2 soon and has been attending since he was 7 months old. He has been in 3 different classrooms and we have adored all of his teachers. The lesson plans are so amazing - even in the infant room they are so good about teaching them about music, language, different cultures. The curriculum - it is just very thoughtful and well-rounded. It’s amazing to know my son isn’t just going somewhere to play all day but he is learning and learning to love learning! There is so much more but I’ll leave it at that! Thanks Mis Amigos for all you do!!!
