Tierra Encantada is a wonderful community. The cultural and language education is amazing. My 3 year old knows all her letters, colors and shapes in Spanish and in English. They have fun field trips and enrichment activities all the time. Love abounds here. I can see and feel the connection my daughter has with her teachers.

I have two children at Tierra Encantada - one in the infant room and one in the Intermediate Preschool, and my oldest has been with Tierra since early 2017. Weve been very happy with our experiences there. Both of my children happily greet their teachers in the morning, and I always feel that they have been well cared for. My oldest potty trained because his teachers took the initiative to help him with it, which I really appreciated. We also love the nutritious breakfasts and lunches, and that our children are being exposed to a new language and other cultures. My oldest has also made great friends through the program. Whatever small concerns Ive had during our time there have been promptly addressed and corrected by the staff. I have recommended this daycare to many friends, who also now send their children there. I certainly encourage those looking to tour here. My spouse and I feel very lucky to have Tierra and its wonderful staff in our and our childrens lives.

We feel so fortunate to have such an amazing day care so close to home. Our daughter wakes up excited to go to Tierra and comes home happy every day! The teachers are incredible and truly love the kids. I can tell our daughter is learning and growing every day while having fun!

We absolutely love Tierra Encantada - our daughter is extremely well taken care of and weve only had positive experiences. The infants get to go outside as often as weather permits, which is not always the care with daycare centers. My little one has transitioned to finger foods easily with the help of the freshly prepared meals. I would wholeheartedly recommend this location!

Our daughter transitioned from a corporate (yet loving and clean) daycare to Tierra Encantada when she was 16mos old without having any Spanish language in her life and just 5 months later she comprehends and speaks Spanish as well as she does English. Its amazing! She hugs her teachers every evening before she leaves, the food is great, they make crafts daily. We are very happy with the tender care and education that our active toddler receives.

We absolutely love Tierra Encantada! Our son is in the toddler program and has learned so much since he started as an infant. The staff is wonderful and our son is thriving. We trust the staff 100% and he loves going to school every day.

Our son has been at Tierra Encantada since he was an infant. He loves going to daycare and runs with excitement into his room everyday. The food is healthy, atmosphere positive, and the staff are caring and steady. We feel very lucky to have our son in their care.

We have a child in the toddler room and in the pre-K room. Tierra Encantada is easily our best daycare experience so far (we have been at two other centers previously). The whole staff including the teachers, administrators, facilities and kitchen staff are so loving to all of the children. My kids run to the staff in the corridors to be scooped up for a big hug. The food is excellent and is cooked on site. We appreciated having cloth diapers and bottles provided for our baby when she was in the infant room, it makes morning drop off a breeze. Our children didn’t know any Spanish when they started 8 months ago and now the four year old babbles away in complete sentences in Spanish. The classrooms are bright, clean and big, and the whole center is spotless. They also program multiple creative activities and themed days each month which our children look forward to. I honestly don’t have a single bad thing to say about this center. We’ve had an excellent experience at Tierra Encantada - Windom.

We think the world of Tierra Encantada. The teachers are warm, friendly, and genuinely care about our children. We have daughters in early pre-school and pre-kindergarten, and they are always talking so positively about their teachers. The administration is open, transparent, and very communicative with families. They also treat their employees like family and have very generous employment policies. The building is clean, and the classrooms are incredibly cheerful and full of quality and age-appropriate toys and activities. Our children are really embracing and learning to speak Spanish. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience here! We love being part of the Tierra Encantada community!

Our son spends two days a week there and were fans. Love that he is getting good, healthy meals and the teachers are full of love (and patience). Our boy stubbornly refuses to speak Spanish, though he understands it, and they are persistent about communicating with him in the language he is supposed to be learning.

We ADORE Tierra. This is our third daycare and we could not ask for more. I could go on and on but Ill try to group my thoughts together:1) The staff. We had previously experience at other centers with high rates of turnover as well as staff that generally seemed to not CARE about our kids. The staff at Tierra has stayed consistent, with the exception of some promotion based turnover. I will also say that its so clear they genuinely like working together and have a community amongst each other. Happy employees = happy work environment = happy kids! I get there early-ish (7:15 or so) and I get to witness people greeting each other as they get to work and chatting about their day/weekend/etc. and it just seems like a great place to work. Neither my husband nor I are native Spanish speakers and we have been able to manage through both day to day communication and parent teacher conferences without any issues. All the teachers know my children by name, even if they arent teaching them, which I also love. It makes me feel 1000% confident leaving them every day.2) The education. My 3 year old can easily count in both English and Spanish, and she converses all day in Spanish and then easily transitions to English at home, even helping her simple parents with pronunciation. I believe she will be more than prepared going into Kindergarten in a few years.3) The service offerings. Oh where to start!? Cloth diapers included? Yes please! Wholesome food offerings!? You got it! (my child now loves mushrooms and is also never hungry for dinner on the day she gets garbanzo bean soup for lunch). Oh, you can intricately braid my daughters hair? Bonus! Ive brought home so much art we are now a little picky about what we keep :) Twice annual family festivals, online communities, theme days, Grandparents visit days, etc.I just cant say enough about the level of service, professionalism, and overall excellence weve experienced at Tierra.

We love Tierra Encantada Bryant! A few things we particularly enjoy:*The days are well structured. Our son is 8 months old and his days consist of: breakfast, a walk outside, nap time, lunch, playing in the indoor gym, nap time, and snack.*The babies take naps at the same time (starting at 10am and 1:30pm) and the lights are turned off during nap time. My 8 month old gets two great naps per day, and the afternoon one is typically 1 hour 30 minutes long! When I pick him up he is happy and not overtired, which was an issue at our previous daycare.*They have fun activities, such as water play day and various dress up days (check out their Facebook page for pictures).*Our sons classroom has 8 babies and 2 teachers, which I prefer to 12 babies and 3 teachers. It feels more cozy and calm.*Most importantly, the teachers are so loving and attentive! They take great care of all the kiddos. We have never seen our son cry at drop off or pick up. During his first week we did two middle of the day check ins and he was very content.*There is a great sense of community among the staff. All of the staff are kind and hard working, and the center is very well run and clean.*All the food is made in house and organic. Even baby purees are made fresh and are not pre packaged.*There is the added bonus of learning Spanish!

Weve been sending our little girl to Tierra for about 6 months. We love how professional, kind, caring and positive the staff are here. Our little girl has learned so much spanish, as well as colors, numbers, animals, songs, and she loves school. She talks about her friends at school, and her teachers, and brings home adorable little art projects every day.

We love Tierra! We looked at several of the Spanish Immersion programs and chose Tierra for a variety of reasons: their care with food preparation (We have a son with allergies), the amazing teachers, the clean / safe / stimulating environment, the great playground. Were so glad to be there with both of our kids!
