Merryhill Schools Santa Rosa

We’re now on our second child (of four) going through La Casita Day School, and honestly… we wish we would’ve found it sooner for our older two. For a little background: our first two kids started in Montessori programs in Southern California (San Diego) and Marin, then we tried another Spanish immersion school locally. While we loved the idea, the experience was very inflexible (especially around drop-off windows) and it felt like families weren’t able to be truly involved. We eventually moved our oldest two to Sonoma Country Day, and later tried another Montessori school with a strong Spanish focus for our third child — but after changes in leadership, it just wasn’t going well. Then we found La Casita (an established school in a new location) and it has been exactly what our family needed. Our daughter Charlotte stayed through TK, and the progress was incredible — she was speaking unbelievably good Spanish, was very prepared for kindergarten, and is actually ahead in areas like sounding out/enunciation, early reading skills, and math. Now our youngest, Isabella, has been there since she was two, and as a three-year-old she’s doing amazingly well and speaks Spanish so well for her age. Beyond academics and language, the school is extremely safe, warm, and welcoming. The staff is kind and attentive, and most importantly, our kids love going. After experiencing multiple programs over the years, it’s a huge relief to finally find a school that feels like the right fit — and one that is truly helping our kids thrive. We’re so grateful for La Casita and highly recommend it to any family looking for Spanish immersion with a supportive, loving environment.

Love La Casita, a great Montessori immersion option. The teachers are caring and detail-oriented, the arts and crafts are on another level, and my kids are happy to go to school every day. That says it all!

This is a beautiful school. The staff is dedicated and passionate about educating their students. Beyond grateful that we found this little gem. They have community events every now and then if you would like more information about this school.

We have concerns about the lack of supervision at this school. Quality has gone down over time as the school grows.
