We absolutely love Universe of Colors! It’s such a hidden gem, perfect for families who want their children to learn Spanish. From my very first visit, I was so impressed by how well-behaved and engaged all the kids were, and how warmly the teachers interacted with them. The staff is incredibly welcoming and nurturing. When our little one first started, he was struggling with hitting. We met with Teacher Terry to share our concerns, and she was so understanding and proactive in helping us work through it together. Now, our 9-month-old will soon be following in his siblings’ footsteps—and we couldn’t be more excited!
I am so happy I found Universe of Colors for my son. We have been there for over a year and will continue until kindergarten. I am so impressed with the curriculum, activities and all of the teachers. The teachers are warm, engaging and so invested in your child’s development. I am witnessing my child improve his Spanish and his excitement about learning (writing numbers and letters, art projects, cultural activities, science experiments). I drop my son of each day knowing he is safe, cared for, and incredibly happy! Thank you to teacher Teri, Ana, Gaby, Christina and all of the others for their support. I cannot recommend Universe of Colors enough!
Universe of Colors is an amazing preschool. The teachers are kind and they communicate with parents well. Their program is the perfect balance of play and academics and our kids learned so much from them. I truly give all the credit to the teachers for getting our kids ready for kindergarten. It's a huge bonus that they have extended hours for working parents and their school closures (i.e., holidays, teachers development day, etc.) are much more limited unlike many of the schools in the area. I highly highly recommend Universe of Colors!
All three of my children have been at Universe of Colors & I will be forever grateful for this amazing start to their education! The school is warm, welcoming, and happy. Many of the teachers have been there for a very long time which is a true testament to what a great school it is. My kids learning Spanish is just the cherry on top. Highly recommend!
We have been at Universe of Colors for almost three years, and we couldn’t be happier! Our daughter goes there every morning, excited and ready for new adventures. The curriculum is wonderfully balanced: children learn their letters and numbers through an amazing variety of hands-on, playful activities. They also spend plenty of time outdoors, building balance and developing gross motor skills. Over these years, I’ve witnessed tremendous growth in my daughter’s confidence—it’s been wonderful to see! The teachers are fantastic—patient, attentive, and truly caring. Thanks to their nurturing environment, my daughter has learned both Spanish and English and is now a very chatty trilingual little girl! I couldn’t recommend Universe of Colors more highly.
