Bubbles’n Colors Bilingual Preschool

My kid attends Bubbles’n Colors since she turned 2. What a great place! My daughter attends part time, mornings from 8:30 to 1:00 (try to find another place with such an extended part time!) most are only until 12:00 or 12:30. Bubbles also provides full time care.
Don’t be fooled by the homely atmosphere (although that’s good). They do yoga once a week. Kids are spoken to in Spanish (not any Spanish, but Colombian Spanish, considered the most neutral and pleasant sounding accent of the language in Latin America. Having lived in Spain, I even prefer it over the Castilian accent used only in Spain vs. other 15+ countries who speak Spanish)
Lunch and midmorning snack are included (oh yeah, oh yeah) and the kids brush their teeth after lunch with the help of one of the teachers. Their ratio is around 3:1 (that’s 3 kids for every teacher). The place has a backyard and the kids wear sunscreen before going out. Food is very healthy and is the only place where my kid would touch broccoli and carrots.
Price is very reasonable. The place is clean clean clean.

After a very stressful preschool research process we visited Bubbles N Colors. My instant first impression was that it was clean, organized, and a warm place. My daughter takes awhile to warm up to people she doesn’t know so putting her in a school with over 30 kids at 2 years old was not a good fit for her. Liliana the owner was incredibly honest about her program and on our visit it was evident that the kids loved her and there was a mutual respect. As a teacher myself it was important for my child to be in a place where she would feel the attention a toddler still needs at this young age. As any parent i felt incredibly nervous and anxious on her first day and expected my daughter to have a rough transition after being home with me all summer. I more than delighted to say that my daughter enjoyed her first week of school and had no meltdowns and I can only thank Liliana and her team. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a smaller setting for their children.

I agree with the other mothers! Our daughter has been at Bubbles’n Colors for almost two years (1 – 3 years old) and she continues to thrive under Liliana’s expert care. I selected this school because it’s small, clean, and run by an extremely caring and responsible director (Liliana). Moreover, the Spanish immersion instruction is a rare and invaluable asset to our daughter’s development. I recommend Bubbles’n Colors without any reservations.

My son has been attending Bubbles’n Colors for 9 months and runs to the door every morning he goes.
Liliana provides a warm, fun, playful and guided environment. She communicates how everyday goes that he’s there.
He first started @ 2 years old and had a hard time adjusting and so did I, but Liliana called me right away to say he was playing and sent me pictures of him playing.
Now he looks forward to going and seeing his sweet friends who always seem to be laughing and having a good time. All the children are respectful of each other and play well together. I can tell his Spanish is also improving. I also appreciate the healthy meals she provides.
We will be sad when he has to move on to his next adventure.

My family is very pleased with Bubbles N Colors. We selected this preschool for Spanish immersion, home-​based mentality, and fair pricing. I couldn’t be happier. (We had also considered Montessori programs and larger institutions, but they felt too corporatized. I wanted somebody to actually love my daughter, not just change her diaper and take a check).
Liliana, the proprietor, is a kind, brilliant, and energetic woman who treats the children as her own. She balances structure with fun, incorporating everything from potty training and tooth brushing to art and yoga into the routine. My daughter, who is 2, shows clear excitement and joy when we pull up to drop her off at Bubbles n Colors for the day. She runs up to Liliana, who immediately picks her up and engages her. If you’re a mother, you know that feeling of relief that comes in knowing your child is in a secure environment.
I truly have nothing negative to say about Bubbles N Colors. It is my first day care experience and I was initially heartbroken to leave my child’s care in somebody else’s hands, but after Day One I knew I had made the right choice.
You can expect lots of communication from Liliana, healthful foods, photos regularly sent by email, arty projects to hang on your fridge, a loving environment and fair tuition scale. Very highly recommended. I am happy to give more info to anybody considering this preschool.

When I decided to send my then 20-​month old toddler to daycare, I searched many places, primarily family-​based caregivers in west side LA. The charge ranges between $ 200-​$ 400/​week and the typical place has a ratio of 2:14, which means 1 trained caregiver plus a helper to take care of 12 – 14 kids. I was not very impressed — some of them run just as a business — pay attention to parents, not kids. All of them are way too crowded to give any sufficient amount of attention to any individual kid. So when I interviewed with Bubbles N Colors, I was pleased that the caregiver does not want to hire help and limit her kids up to 5 – 6. She is very educated, experienced, intelligent and has wonderful manners and fun personality. The environment is clean and nice, full of creative toys and tools for kids to learn. Most importantly, I could see the genuine interest and love via interaction between her and my child immediately. My intuition told me this is the right one!
Any parents who’ve sent their kids to daycare know the first week is extremely tough, for both kids and parents. I almost cried when I had to leave my son for the 2^nd day when he realized what’s going on and refused to stay behind. Soon after I arrived in the office, I got an email with tons of pictures that they took during the day of my son and of course — he was having lots of fun! Both my husband and I were so relieved. Since then there have been many other pleasant surprises such as they brush his teeth after lunch, provide home-​made lunch with healthy ingredients (my son always eats a lot more than at home), teach Spanish, dancing, drawing, etc. that each day we feel blessed to watch how our son enjoys learning new skills, develop good manners and love bonding with the caregiver.
I know I am lucky to have found this gem. I highly recommend it to all moms who are looking for a wonderful place for their toddlers!
