TESTIMONIALS
“I am so pleased with my granddaughter’s growth and development. She attended Mi Sol until entering kindergarten at a public school district. Because she received such a great academic start at Mi Sol, she has maintained straight A’s ever since. She will be entering second grade in August, and I am so incredibly proud of her academic and social-emotional accomplishments. My granddaughter loves going back to Mi Sol every year for Summer Camp. Miss Erika is phenomenal!”

Wonderful teachers who are dedicated to the development and happiness of children. The Bilingual/ Montessori experience has created a foundation for the love of learning and exploration. Both of our children have and continue to enjoy Mi Sol Academy.”
