"As a parent, I feel it is a priority to foster my daughter's innate ability to learn another language and encourage her interest in other cultures. With full immersion classes centered around play, Escuela Pura Vida is an ideal option for pre-k and elementary aged students. Señorita Dafni is so great with children. Josee loves her and looks forward to every class. She has already learned so much! I would recommend Escuela Pura Vida to anyone."

Our son has taken both group class and private instruction at Escuela Pura Vida. Although our son attends Escuela Pura Vida after a day in 1st grade, he has never show reluctance to attend. He rushes from the parking lot straight into the classroom, and is always greeted with a big smile and enthusiasm that matches his own.
Señorita Dafni has created a colorful and engaging classroom. Although parents are not present in the classroom, we can hear the joy and laughter in the class from our seats in the hall. It is clear to us that S. Dafni spends a great deal of time and effort in creating each lesson, and she varies her teaching style to reach each child. Her effort does not stop there, as she emails notes, updates and a review of new words and phrases after each class.
Along with the fun, there is serious learning going on in the classroom. I do not speak Spanish, but have friends who do. They are continually impressed by my son’s ability to understand, comprehend and speak the language. We believe that his learning of Spanish at a young age will benefit him for his entire life. We highly recommend S. Dafni and Escuela Pura Vida.
Muchos Gracias Señorita Dafni!
