I would like to share what an amazing experience we had with LangoKids Irvine. This Spanish…read moreimmersion program offers powerful cognitive, social, and cultural benefits for a variety of ages. We participated in the preschool and transitional classes for my toddler. I'm a homeschooling parent who has learned that at this age, children's brains are very receptive to learning and language. LangoKids provides an environment that allows kids to absorb Spanish naturally through play, songs, and daily routines. They have awesome teachers and staff to create a friendly and diverse atmosphere helping my toddler feel comfortable with native-like pronunciation as well as increase their listening abilities. As a parent, learning that immersion supports a stronger attention connection, memory recall, and develops good problem-solving skills has been very impactful. Beyond language, this program promotes awareness, empathy, and diversity from an early age. And has laid a strong foundation for bilingual and lifelong learning while keeping it effortless and fun. I would highly recommend trying out LangoKids Irvine giving it a 10 out of 10. My child constantly sings the songs and practices what she continues to learn all the time. I picked up a few Spanish things along the way too, lol!

Hello, This is a fellow 7th grader at I Can Academy. I have to say, the staff are extremely nice…read moreand caring! Most of them are parents, so they have proper experience with this kind of stuff. The best part about the staff is that they don't just focus on teaching, they focus on YOU. The teachers have less students which means they can focus on students individually. Other schools have teachers which focus on the class as a student body. The teachers want to know YOU and what YOU need help on and what YOU like. It may be smaller than your average school, but makes up for it for the indivual care the teachers put into the students. It's a great cross between homeschool and school, where you have less stress and all the kids are chill and you get all the knowledge you need. It's a great low-stress alternative with social aspects to homeschool. ICA also has class 2 days a week (Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday). ICA helps kids LEARN subjects at an more appropriate pace and is great with helping each student GROW to be the best version of themselves. ICA will make your child SOAR into the wonders of fun and low-stress! Thanks ICA!

The office staff was so warm and welcoming, and our daughter loved picking out her supplies to create her own I Can Academy bag. Her teacher was incredibly kind and created such a positive, engaging learning atmosphere. During the class, I even heard my daughter shout, "I can read!" When it ended, she was smiling and excited to bring home new flash cards to practice blending sounds. A few days later, she had an assessment at a private school for kindergarten, which included sounding out letters and blending them. She did so well--and I couldn't believe how quickly the lessons from the academy had already made an impact. This is absolutely the place to go if you want a warm, child-first learning experience. We highly recommend it!
