I have wanted to leave a review for Academia for years now. I just recently enrolled our almost 2 year old daughter, and I am so happy about it and wanted to share my experience. I don't know if I can put into words just how amazing this place is, but I will try. I have three daughters. My oldest two kids, now 9 and 7 both went to Academia from 18M - Kinder. Their time at Academia was pure magic. They loved the school. They loved the teachers. They loved their friends. When they had to leave to start Kinder, the cried for days because they wanted to be back at Academia. They would ask every day to go see their "moms" at Academia after school. Azgad, Pamela and all the teachers show genuine love to all the kids. They play with them, braid their hair, push them on the swing for hours, take them on walks, dance with them, sing to them...it's not a job to any of the adults at this place. They love the kids. When I had my 3rd recently, she was too young to start at Academia, so we enrolled her at another highly rated daycare. I ended up pulling her from that daycare after 6 months because it felt sterile, cold and lacked that feeling you want to have when you leave your child with someone all day. When she was old enough to start at Academia they welcomed her like family. When I went to pick her up the first day, she was outside playing - looked up and saw me and kept playing. She loves being there, and it feels good to know that the hours she spends there each day are filled with joy. Your kids will get dirty. They will come home with paint in their hair and watermelon juice on their clothes. They will play in mud puddles and learn how to swing on a swing independently. They will actually learn Spanish. Both of my older kids are fluent, and I credit that to Academia. They will become stronger, resilient kids - because they will spend the greater portion of their day outside with a bunch of kids of various ages. It is literally the best place on earth for a little growing mind. I can't recommend it enough.
Academia is a wonderful Spanish immersion daycare in Austin that feels like a home away from home for our son! The teachers are incredibly caring and create a safe, warm environment where children feel free to be themselves. They really let the kids explore and play outdoors, making nature a big part of everyday learning. It’s a place where kids can get messy, try new things, and develop a love for discovery—all while picking up Spanish naturally. Academia is a gem for parents who want a nurturing space for their little ones to grow and learn!
We couldn’t be happier about our daughters experience at Academia Escolar Spanish Immersion School! Our daughter has attended for the last two years, and it has been amazing to watch her grow and thrive here. She looks forward to going every day, which is a testament to the warm and engaging environment the teachers create. She is now fluent in both English and Spanish, and we are impressed more and more each day with her overall development. The teachers are incredibly caring, and it truly feels like a second home for her. We already dread the day when she’ll have to move on to a new school.
Highly recommend! Such a warm and loving environment where kindness, adventure, and learning is promoted every day. My son started here when he was three and we had just moved from New York. Love that he was able to spend so much time outside creating adventures with his friends. They foster family involvement so we were able to meet other parents and have made some beautiful friendships along the way. Don’t hesitate to send your children here! We plan on sending our daughter as well!
Academia has been a fantastic experience for our three-year-old. The Spanish immersion program is truly effective; we’re amazed to see our child actually learning and using Spanish. The teachers are not only warm and welcoming but also give each child special attention, making them feel truly seen and supported. It’s a place where kids are encouraged to explore and learn freely, building a strong foundation and a genuine love for learning. Our kid comes home (dusty) and happy every single day. We couldn’t be happier with our choice—Academia is a wonderful place for intelligent kiddos who are avid explorers and learners!
