What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Our son loves La Tribu, his loving guides Ms. Yanis and Ms. Marlen, and the rest of the team. The facilities are charming, and the kids get lots of nature and outdoor play. The kids are also privileged to care for two little goats that live among them. La Tribu is also a community, and parents have many opportunities to get involved and participate in fun events organized by the school. We are very fortunate to have our son at La Tribu and are thankful to the guides and team for being so caring and kind to our son.
We have loved our experience at La Tribu Rural. Everyone is so welcoming and kind to our child and to us. They provide such a robust curriculum full of experiences my child would not have had otherwise and really challenge her while staying respectful of her individual speed of development. The school also integrates nature and learning about different cultures. They have great play areas and the kids help care for the school goats. I so appreciate the community they have fostered and of course that they have taught my daughter to speak Spanish. I will be sending my next child as well. Highly recommend.
La Tribu has felt like a second home for my daughter over the past 2+ years... most days she doesn’t want to leave! Admin and classroom staff are so warm and attentive to the children’s needs and development. We have also found a sense of community amongst staff and other families enrolled.
Our two children love La Tribu! All of the teachers are absolutely wonderful. We love that they get to play outside every day, learn life skills, and learn to speak Spanish. It’s a very nurturing and loving environment and we will be sad when the kids have to graduate.
La Tribu is a wonderful childcare facility. It’s not just a school - it’s a community. Our son loves going to school every day. He loves his teachers whom care deeply for him and his education. And he comes home every day, tired and dirty from all the play (which we love!). Truly, we couldn’t ask for a better place for our son to be on a daily basis.
