About this preschool

Kids Speaking Spanish Preschool (KSS) is a Spanish immersion preschool serving ages 2–6 (PK2–TK) with four Bay Area campuses using a play-based, Reggio Emilia-inspired approach. The school offers flexible 10-month and 12-month programs with standard school day (9 AM–3 PM) and extended day (7 AM–6 PM) options.

Philosophy
Rooted in Spanish immersion and a play-based, Reggio Emilia-inspired approach. We believe early childhood is sacred—and that learning should feel like joy. Each learning environment is designed to feel like a second home, full of joy, curiosity, and care where children feel seen, celebrated, and supported.
