"Both of my sons have attended DPLA Trilingual. My oldest son was there for several years until he went to Kindergarten. In that time, his language flourished and he became more confident talking to me in Spanish. Not only did his language flourish, but Dave and Jessie focused on kindergarten readiness by practicing multiple skills that have benefited him and given him a head start going into kindergarten. My youngest son is currently attending DPLA Trilingual and he absolutely loves it. I appreciate so much how at a young age he is exposed to different cultural foods, languages, learning social emotional skills and is in such a welcoming environment. While there, both of my sons experienced the highest possible care that a parent could ask for. Dave and Jessie truly pour their hearts into these children and they become like family. I would highly recommend DPLA Trilingual. " - Parent
