Tierra Encantada : Why Parents and Teachers Call Tierra Encantada a Second Home

This video brings together Tierra Encantada parents, teachers, and children to explain what makes the Spanish immersion early-education brand work — and why families return to it as what one parent calls a second home. Teachers and staff frame the experience around relationship. Each child is known individually — what they like, what they don't, the things that matter to them daily — and parents describe walking into bright, clean, color-rich classrooms with warm, attentive staff. Even when there's a language barrier for parents who don't speak fluent Spanish, the visual and emotional connection between staff and children comes through clearly. Spanish immersion is the curriculum core. All Tierra Encantada teachers are Spanish-fluent, drawn from Ecuador and other Spanish-speaking countries, and parents report children becoming as fluent in Spanish as in English — and noticeably more culturally aware and globally connected as a result. Children themselves describe being taught songs, listening skills, and new daily words in both languages. Organic food is a core operating pillar. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are freshly cooked on-site — couscous with beans and vegetables, organic ingredients, varied menus that push young palates. Parents describe the confidence of knowing what their kids are eating; children themselves call the food yummy, tasty, and healthy for their tummies. Cultural learning is intentional. Toys and dolls of varying skin colors, gross and fine motor activities, and an explicitly diversity-positive philosophy form a deliberate part of the program. Parents close with the same theme — Tierra Encantada strikes a perfect blend of involved, structured time and natural, organic days, with so much love and student interest in the building that any child leaving for kindergarten is set up to thrive.
