We were referred by a friend to AOPS for middle school accelerated math. Before last school year…read moreended, we took our daughter to AOPS for assessment. As we expected, AOPS was more advanced, and the math director recommended us 3 options to catch up before middle school started. One of the options was to enroll our daughter at their summer camp where she could be evaluated by their teacher to get an accurate assessment. So we enrolled our daughter for the summer camp for which we were told was the best option. I emailed the director to confirm our plan and enrollment for the camp. We finished the camp; I even talked to the summer camp teacher about the assessment and asked her about our daughter's progress. Things seem ok . After the camp was completed, I reached out to the math director right away about the summer camp assessment. He then told me that the school had changed policy and summer camp could no longer be served as an assessment. This change happened in less than 4 weeks from the time the director and I had email communications and discussions over the phone. We were told to schedule for another assessment. Our daughter didn't like AOPS so much that we decided not to proceed. End of story .

Carlin is MBD's speech/language pathologist, who also specializes in early literacy, can you say WOW!? As a Momma bear, I have searched high and low for someone like Carlin. We previously had a SLP and a special education tutor (who we still love dearly) but Carlin is both of them combined into one! She is a "one stop shop" if you will. Given her educational background (PhD student), extensive experience, and her ability to connect with my kids, she has been a dream come true for us! My kids are understanding AND comprehending the connection between speech, language, reading, hearing, and writing because of her! Thank you Jana and Carlin! You're both such beautiful souls who have given us so much of your advice, guidance, and sincerity!

My 3 old toddler had a very unpleasant first time daycare experience while she was at Learning…read moreSprings for 7 days. She was hit by a child while having 3 adults in the same classroom "supervising" her. There was no exact explanation as to why they didn't witness the incident. My child had an "accident" and I always provided an extra pair of clothes as expected, but my child was left with her dirty clothes throughout the day. The hours state they are available for business at 7am and for me this was expressed how important it was to be their on time. The staff would walk in right at 7am and by the time I walked out from checking her in and everything else that needed to be done, i was 10 minutes behind schedule. I expressed thus to the director and we couldn't continue allowing more incidents occur and decided to not continue having our child be here. We requested our 2 weeks of daycares money that we had paid in advance to be refunded and they refused and said their policy stated we needed to give a months notice stating we were removing our child. We were furious to hear how the wanted us to leave our child there to have more incidents occur. A refund wAs not given back to us and were un-sympathetic. Bad experience from day one.

BACKGROUND: Five…read morestars is not enough for Lia and Luis! We've been to different daycares before finding this gem, and we can confidently say that we are happiest with Lia and Luis' care. We could not ask for a better experience! Our daughter attended for half a year, and our son is currently enrolled at Adventures in Spanish. WHAT SETS THEM APART: Academic gains: -There is NO television or screen time here, but rather lots of fun and academic enrichment: puzzles, circle time, art, music, etc. -Our son is learning many things (the alphabet, numbers, colors, etc) in both Spanish and English thanks to the careful and thoughtful planning of Lia and Luis. Holiday fun: -Lia and Luis also celebrate holidays in such memorable ways: around Easter time, they had a bunny visit. -For Christmas, Santa visited and the children put on the most adorable performance. -They even had a small Thanksgiving dinner for lunch the day before Thanksgiving, too. Health: -Lia and Luis maintain an immaculate and welcoming home that is not dirty at all. -kids get lots of time to play outdoors in their spacious and shaded backyard (I'm never worried about sunburns) -food is healthy and not ultra processed. Even on holidays/parties, candy is not distributed to children to eat (Lia and Luis respectfully wait for the parents to get the candy at pickup) Other: -Lia and Luis are such kind and warm people. My husband and I feel like we have family watching our children. If you are looking for a stellar daycare in SJ, look no further than Adventures in Spanish! We are so thankful we found them! They are also an exceptional value! I wish I had found them sooner!

The only reason we left was because we moved out of the area. We were very sad to take her out because she was learning a lot at the day care, including Spanish! Highlights - Lia offers home cooked, well balanced meals. Their home is clean and appropriately child-proofed. They have a good-sized shaded backyard for the kids to play. They do daily art/writing/drawing activities. They speak Spanish to the kids. Lia is also great about sending pictures. I could tell that my daughter enjoyed the day care because she never cried at drop-off. At pick-up she always had a huge smile and was excited to show me her artwork or drawing she did that day. I could tell that Lia and Yayo loved my daughter like their own, and I am so thankful that we found them.

The online is really good experience some instructors are better that others but they do operate in small classes to make sure they can give the best experience. Recently we tried their winter camp in-person and my kids absolutely love it. We joined the camp in Santa Clara, CA and both my kids LOVE IT! My daughter said that her teaches is one of the best and most fun teacher she had. That is HUGE deal! I met some of the team and they are amazing. Even though it was a whole day my kids ended up not wanting the camp to end. But they also were very challenged with the projects. So that is really good. I highly recommend both online and in-person, but if you have an in-person opportunity- that is the BEST choice. The whole experience is just great! And the best part is after their camp - they have a graduation and the students gets to show the parents all the hard work they did the entire week. And honestly I don't see that elsewhere. So I give the stars for thinking of all the things that will make a camp really a great experience. It is just not fun my son did coding and it was a challenge and I see that as a positive. It means they are really teaching you some real stuff. Camp is a whole day camp ours was 9-5pm Lunch is provided (different restaurants everyday) We love it!

I'm sharing this with a heavy heart. My son attended an iD Tech summer camp in summer 2025 and…read moreexperienced an assault from 2 other campers. He reported what happened to a counselor, but no action was taken to protect him, and the counselor failed to do his job. He didn't inform the camp director, though the director was aware there were other concerns with those 2 campers as they kept going into my son's room which I shared with her. As parents, we were never notified until my son finally felt safe enough to tell us last month. When I contacted iD Tech, I was put in touch with Kimberly Frinell. Initially, she seemed sympathetic, but communication quickly became sparse and then stopped altogether. It now feels like the company is hoping we'll just go away. This experience exposed serious gaps in training, accountability, and most importantly child safety. There appears to be no reliable system for incident reporting, escalation, or even contacting counselors from previous years. For a program this expensive, the lack of care and follow-through is unacceptable. id tech isn't a safe environment for children, and the way this was handled after the fact was deeply disappointing. I would strongly caution parents against sending their children here, and caution anyone considering working for them to think twice.
