Why Spanish Immersion Schools?

Your child will experience all of the joys of regular preschool - just in Spanish!

The Rayito de Sol program is designed for children who do not speak the Spanish language and provides an opportunity for children to learn Spanish through many educational experiences. Rayito de Sol is Minnesota's premier Spanish Immersion Preschool & Language Learning for Children.
