Our Goal
At Charla Daycare, we understand that working parents want to give their children the best start possible (or even a head start).
Our mission is to offer a boutique Spanish immersion experience that combines exceptional care with engaging educational programs.
We like to say we offer the best of both worlds. We provide high-quality care at a more affordable rate than hiring a private nanny, while delivering a more intimate and attentive experience compared to larger daycare centers.
Saludos. Me llamo Beatriz. I am a heritage Spanish speaker, born to Puerto Rican parents, y la mamá de Gabriel (5yo) y Camila (1yo). As a former Spanish teacher, I assumed that raising my child bilingual would be simple. I was wrong. As a working mother, I have encountered a variety of obstacles in my quest for a bilingual and bicultural early childhood experience for my children.
In speaking with other padres Latinos, I discovered I am not alone in my struggles and I decided to build something that I was passionate about and that I saw was needed in my community.
Bienvenidos.
Meet the Owner
I opened my daycare when my son was 3, going onto 4. Since opening, I have seen the following changes in him:
His Spanish fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary have flourished!
He sees Spanish as relevant and not just the language Mami speaks all alone at home.
He chooses to speak in Spanish with his grandparents. He values both languages equally and adapts to his audience, as opposed to expecting others to adapt to him.
He gets excited when he hears Spanish in the community and looks forward to his trips to Puerto Rico.
