Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center, Richfield | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

The teachers and staff at Rayito de Sol in Richfield are so loving and helpful, and great at their jobs! You can tell how much they love the children as soon as you walk in. They are always greeting the kids and giving hugs and smiling when the kids show up, and are very good with the kids in general. The classes are small, and the classrooms are bright and fun environments for the kids, and filled with all kinds of activities.

My daughter started when she was 2.5 barely speaking English, and in less than 2 years, is speaking Spanish in full sentences all day at preschool (she did her kindergarten evaluation 80% in Spanish even though the evaluator was speaking English at the start).

They use the Procare app where the teachers send pictures of your child, as well as any reminders about special events or days off. You can pay in the app and you can easily message them in the app if you have questions about anything, or want to let them know you’re coming in early, etc.

It’s not cheap, but it’s not much more expensive than all English preschools and we love that they are open until 5:30pm for all kids!

We do wish they could provide lunch so we wouldn’t have to pack one every day, but they do provide drinks, and snacks in the morning and afternoon.

Some of the teachers speak very little English – they are from Spanish speaking countries around the world, (which we love!) – so it can be a challenge to communicate occasionally, but some do speak English well, and the person in the office can always translate (as can the 4-year-olds) ??

Another thing to note is that a few teachers had to leave in the middle of the year successively last year, and I don’t know why that is, but it was unfortunate for the little kids who had to get used to multiple new grownups in the same year. This year has been more stable!

Overall we are very happy with everything at Rayito de Sol, and very grateful for everything the teachers do and are for our kids!

Rayito De Sol, Richfield is a wonderful learning facility that provides an enriched multilingual education with excellent faculty who are very enthusiastic about their work. As a Rayito graduate now in college, I can say that my background in Spanish education due to Rayito has helped me tremendously, and has allowed me to explore areas I never thought possible. I’m glad to have had the experiences I had during my time at Rayito, as it has made me a better, smarter person, and I have made life-long friends.

The teachers create a wonderful, safe and caring space for our kids. Our kids are extremely well behaved around other children and really enjoy going to school to play with their friends and maestras.
