SPANISH FOR FUN! Cary

We just wrapped up 7 years with SFF Cary and it was a wonderful experience! Our two boys started in the infant class with sweet Ms.Elsa, she put our nerves at ease with her gentle demeanor and she kept us well informed with how our baby was doing and how the day went. Ms. Mayi, Ms. Gaby, Ms. Lady and Ms. Isabella were outstanding for the older years. They are so caring and put in a lot of work to make activities educational but a ton of fun. It’s amazing to hear all the children using and understanding Spanish. Some other highlights were the annual Christmas program, international festival, gardening day, and splash days in the summer. The school does a great job with including parents with special events and holidays. SFF Cary is a great community to be part of and we have great memories of the preschool days. Thanks SFF Cary!!

Everyone is so personable and I know my son is getting a great age appropriate education in Spanish. He has STEAM fairs, ample time outside, a quality curriculum, and the kindest teachers I have ever met.

I don’t want to let more time pass without writing this review for the SFF administration. Since Mimi from the administrative staff no longer works in Cary, the childcare center feels very different. It is truly sad when valuable people like her are let go. I am a mother of a child at the center and Cary is not the same without Ms. Mimi. From the moment you walked in, she brought warmth and life to the center. She was always kind, welcoming, and treated both the children and families with genuine care. Many parents were deeply saddened by her departure. Several of us asked the teachers what could be done and who we could speak to because her absence is truly felt. Just last week the school was decorated for Valentine’s Day and there was no connection between the administrative staff and families at all. We also know the reason why she left, and honestly, it is ridiculous. This is not just a personal opinion, this message represents the feelings of a group of parents.

The Cary facility is amazing!! If you are looking for a daycare, this is an excellent pick. The staff is outstanding and you can tell they really care about the kids.<br><br>Ms. Mayi & Gabby are so loving to the children. Thank you both for everything you do and the fun/education you provide for our kids!!

Ms. Yvette and Ms. Mimi along with their staff truly care about the children who attend their school as well as their families. I cannot speak highly enough of the foresight, care, and intention they bring to Spanish for Fun. As a parent, I had peace of mind when my child was under their care and I watched her thrive in their classrooms.

Spanish for Fun Cary has been a life-changing experience for our family. After leaving 3 other childcare facilities, SFF was a breath of fresh air. What sets this center apart is not only their commitment to early childhood education, but the deep, genuine love they have for every child in their care. Our daughter was lucky enough to have Ms. Elsa and Ms. Mariela in the infant classroom. Words cannot express our gratitude for the way the cared for our sweet girl. I could go on and on about how much Ms. Else truly loves each of those babies like her own. In the early preschool classroom, our son absolutely adored Ms. Maya and Ms. Gabby. They led the class with energy, love, and patience. They really helped my son thrive!<br><br>In all the time we’ve been with Spanish for Fun Cary, I have never once heard a teacher raise their voice at a child, which is sadly so rare to find these days. The staff treats every little one with such tenderness, patience, and respect—it’s like being part of an extended family. The teachers are calm, gentle, and incredibly skilled at creating a positive, supportive environment where children can thrive.<br><br>The structure they offer is outstanding—everything from the daily routines to the Spanish immersion curriculum is thoughtfully designed to help children feel secure, engaged, and inspired. Yet within that structure, they still manage to keep things playful and joyful. It’s the best of both worlds.<br><br>Unfortunately, due to my husband being active duty, we received orders out of the area. I don’t think we will ever find childcare at the level that SFF Cary offered. We will miss them dearly!

I would not recommend this daycare. We pulled our son out because what we were promised during the tour was not what we received and the lack of communication from administrators was terrifying. The teachers were caring but it’s clear a lot is put on them daily. During the tour we mentioned our son was potty training, we were ensured they could continue the schedule we were doing. They did not, I picked him up several times completely wet. He has now regressed to the point he doesn’t want to sit on the potty. Our son has gluten and dairy sensitivities and we were told they serve mostly gluten free items, this ended up a issue and even when we sent in items I recall the director handing me his lunch box with items I sent saying “they must’ve not seen this” all of his food was clearly labeled and marked. They did not take it seriously it’s not a preference, this is a health issue. I was told they were confused yet no one communicated that to me when I asked several times before his start date. Furthermore, we are not native Spanish speakers and so I feel we were not prioritized; we thought this was a great opportunity to immerse in different cultures. I still think it’s important but after our experience Spanish For Fun is not the best option.

We have had a wonderful experience at SFF! Ms. Gabby and Ms. Mayi bring so much warmth, love, and energy for the kids every day. They were incredibly patient and encouraging as we navigated potty training. SFF goes above and beyond to create impactful experiences outside of the day to day, we recently attended the international fiesta where it was clear they put in a lot of effort to make it a success. 10/10 recommend.

I can't express enough how grateful I am for the amazing care Lucia receives at SPANISH FOR FUN!. She is truly happy there, and it's clear to me how much she has learned and grown in such a short time. The staff is incredibly caring and always goes above and beyond to ensure the kids feel loved and supported. Lucia loves singing, and it's heartwarming to see her enthusiasm, which I know is a result of the nurturing environment they've created. I can genuinely feel the love the staff has for the children, and it's such a relief to know that Lucia is in such good hands. She’s always excited to go, and I’m so happy to see her thriving. Highly recommend!

We would give 6 stars ⭐️ if we could. Staff is incredible from the moment you walk in. Teachers are fantastic. Some heroines really don’t wear capes. The cameras, daily activities, and top notch organization are a plus but the most important thing is the love and affection we feel and know our kid gets every time she’s there.
