Our Mission:
Bilingual.
For over 25 years, Welcome Amigos International School has helped children develop a lifelong love for learning and become fully bilingual.
I can't say enough good things about Welcome Amigos. My 2.5-year-old daughter started full-time three months ago and absolutely loves it. The teachers are excellent at personalizing care for each student and have built a close-knit community across the school.

In his three years there he's built confidence, academic skills, curiosity, and a genuine love for being at school. It's amazing to watch how proud and confident he is with his Spanish.

The school is a hidden gem on the peninsula. The maestras are kind-hearted and genuinely care about every child in the class - our daughter ends every school day with a big hug for them.

If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be known, celebrated, and encouraged to thrive, we couldn't recommend Welcome Amigos more highly.
- Katrina S., Winnie
As a teacher and a parent, finding a preschool that provides a safe, nurturing environment while still challenging and engaging my child was a top priority. Welcome Amigos has exceeded every expectation.

We searched far and wide for the ideal preschool for our daughters - somewhere with thoughtful curriculum, emotional intelligence built into the development, and a supportive, caring community.

It's a small, tight-knit environment in which each child is able to receive a significant amount of personal attention. The staff combines activity-based play with age-appropriate curriculum to create a solid foundation for future learning. From the Spanish language to positive social development, our kids are learning a ton.

Our older son started when he was 2.5, and we were amazed at how quickly he became nearly fluent in Spanish. We also appreciate how communicative and responsive Maestra is, helping us work through things like potty training.

Our son attends the after-school program and loves it so much he asked to add another day. The teachers and staff are warm and caring, which makes him excited to go to class. He had been hesitant to speak Spanish at home, but now he's eager to use it at school. The mixed-age, mixed-level environment allows him to learn from other students and build wonderful friendships.

Our Philosophy
We offer a Spanish immersion environment in which children feel welcomed, loved, and respected as they build appreciation and cultural awareness for each other. We strongly believe that each child is unique and possesses individual interests. Therefore, we encourage and inspire each one to fulfill his/her potential.
Inspired by Reggio Emilia, our program lets children lead their own learning through play, art, and hands-on discovery — all in full Spanish immersion. Teachers guide rather than lecture, and family collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Our Programs
A state-licensed preschool and a full camp lineup — there's a fit for every student at Welcome Amigos.
We proudly follow the standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) — the field's most trusted benchmark for quality early childhood education, from birth through age 8.
