My daughter has had a wonderful experience at The Galileo Spanish Australian Preschool. As she had been at home with me full-time for almost four years, I was quite hesitant about where to enrol her. However, after only a few weeks, the teachers have been truly amazing and have made the transition very smooth for both my daughter and myself. From the very first day, the teachers took the time to ask many questions about my daughter to better understand her personality, interests, and needs. They also asked about my concerns and the goals I had for her, which made me feel that she was genuinely valued as an individual rather than just another child in the classroom. As a parent with a South American background, I really appreciate the strong family-oriented atmosphere at this preschool. What I love most is that the teachers come from different parts of South America. It gives my daughter the opportunity to hear a variety of Spanish accents and learn about different cultures, which makes her learning experience even richer. In addition, the monthly programs are engaging, fun, and very appropriate for the children’s age. Although my daughter is still adjusting, she always comes home from preschool happy and excited to share the things she has learned during the day. Natalia, Camila, Julietta, and Cecelia are truly an incredible team. I can tell they are passionate and care deeply for the children. Muchas gracias for all for your care, dedication, and continued support!

I can’t be more thankful for this amazing Spanish preschool! We decided to enroll our son here to prepare him for our move to a Spanish-speaking country, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. The teachers are incredibly skilled, and the quality of education is outstanding. Beyond that, the school fosters a warm, family-like environment where the kids feel safe and supported. Our son has made so many friends here and genuinely looks forward to going every day – something that never happened with other schools he attended before. This preschool has been such a blessing for our family, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering it. It’s a place where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Cris and the team are fabulous! My daughter settled in so quickly and built strong relationships with her teachers. We are also a non-Spanish speaking family but my daughter started to learn Spanish within weeks of starting. The program at SAPS was great for her development. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend the Spanish Australian Preschool to all the Spanish speaking community or those that want to learn. It's a unique hidden treasure. Being a small centre compared to other service provides a more homely and personal atmosphere. My little one attended this centre for almost 3 years before the transition into Primary School. I have nothing but kind words for all the Educators and all the team. I personally travelled from North side of Canberra but the travel commitment is well worth it knowing that my child was always well cared for and the bilingual education opportunity. Thank you to all the team at SAPS for being a beautiful part of my little ones early years. I will always be grateful for have being part of this amazing centre and the people we have meet in it.

My child has just graduated from the Spanish Australian Preschool. He loved the 18 months he spent there. We do not speak Spanish at home - but it wasn’t long before he began speaking Spanish words. Much to our delight he often counts and sings in Spanish. He has had the opportunity to be immersed in another language, and because of that he has been challenged and is keen to learn more… The Educators at SAPS were so engaged with the children- and the learning journey was always interactive and fun. There is a strong emphasis on outdoor play and neighbourhood excursions. Another bonus has been that he has also been exposed to foreign food and culture- which he has loved! Im so glad we moved him from his previous preschool- I could not rate this special little school more highly.

Very caring educators and excellent educational program. Very understanding and adaptable to support neurodivergence. Recommend for families with or without a Spanish speaking background.

Amazing environment, full of nature play. Educators focus on emotional development and social skills alongside the academic matters. The children are happy, it is obvious that a lot of thought, dedication and passion goes into what they do. My child has thrived there for three years, he has further learnt how to cope with frustration and developed emotionally to a great extent thanks to the tools offered by the teachers. My child is often heard saying things like "I want to go to the preschool because they treat me well" and "at preschool they help me learn what I like" which leaves me baffled! Well done to the team, they truly are an absolute treasure.

SAPS is a beautiful preschool. The teachers are lovely and caring and the natural play space is wonderful. They are very flexible and accomodating and the preschool is welcoming to both native Spanish speakers and non Spanish speaking families. My daughter really enjoyed her year at SAPS and I would recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a nurturing bilingual early education for their child.

I had an amazing experience with the Spanish Australian Preschool! It's a fantastic place where my kids not only learned a multitude of things but also thrived under the guidance of exceptional educators. Highly recommended!

This is such a special preschool. The founder/director Cris is an incredible woman who is so passionate about Spanish education. She is very innovative and motivated. And the educators are so wonderful too. They are kind, patient, and very creative. The curriculum is excellent; the kids are always learning through engaging and creative activities. It seems like all the kids are happy here. The premises is lovely, with a great outdoor area. The preschool caters to both kids who speak Spanish at home and those who don’t. They encourage kids to speak Spanish in a gentle way. Highly recommend this school!
