We’re not a typical early learning center. We are Alma Flor Ada, a year-round Spanish Immersion Early Learning Academy in Minnesota for children ages 28 months – Kindergarten. Our culture is our passion and we want to share it with your family. Not tourist culture, real culture.
The Alma Flor Ada Spanish Immersion program uses multi-lingual learning methods to empower students to explore, discover, and advance. Our teachers are native Spanish speakers who inspire children through language, culture, and a superb STEM education curriculum.
