a year agoI rarely take the time to give reviews, but I had to for Olas. Kindergarten is almost over. This school and the teachers here all have been such a blessing for my daughter and myself. The teachers are so loving, kind and patient. They treat the kids like they are their own children. They focus on the child’s learning style, each individually and as part of the group. I’m truly so grateful for having found this hidden gem. My only regret was not finding it sooner. My daughter has had a wonderful 2 years here and the best foundation for her lifelong learning journey.

a year agoThis review is a long time coming… and by “a long time” I mean it has been 10 years since our family came to Olas. I rarely give reviews, but was moved to sit down and finally write one for Olas because they go above and beyond!! The principal and lead teacher, Mara Vidal, and her amazing teachers and staff are nothing short of miraculous! We have had all 3 of our children at Olas. From the minute each of our children stepped into the school, they were entranced. The teachers make all their students - and parents - feel like part of the Olas family. They create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that just draws kids in immediately, and which leads to a strong feeling of community for all involved. Mara has a background in children’s language education, as well as in music and theater - and it shows! Not only have our children come out with a strong and beautiful understanding of Spanish (and killer accents!), but they have had so much fun in the process. There truly is never a dull moment at Olas! I could go on forever… Truly, this is a remarkable place. We have never once regretted our decision to send our children here. Olas is a gem in our Austin community! Besos y abrazos!

a year agoMy niece has gone to this school as a PreK student and then for additional after school & summer time programs over the last 5 years. The director, Mara, has also taught her Spanish privately. Not only have her language abilities flourished with Olas's support, but also my niece truly values & connects with her Olas peers & teachers.
