My child loves the staff at SFF Duraleigh and the team there creates a wonderful environment. To see my child run into their arms every morning is a treat and bolsters the confidence we have in the SFF team. The staff and administration is responsive, understanding, and proactive to new parents. There are so many little special moments and memories we have made with SFF Duraleigh and we recommend them to any parent. I hope your child enjoys it as much as ours has.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Spanish for Fun. Our daughter has been there since August, and the entire staff made her transition into daycare so smooth and comforting. Everyone is incredibly warm and caring. We loved having Ms.Teresa, and now we’ve moved into our second classroom, and Ms.Carolina and Ms.Sara have been amazing. We have always gotten so many pictures and updates through her day and we really appreciate that. The teachers are all very attentive and intentional about helping her feel comfortable and confident.Our youngest will be attending come April, and we know the experience will be the same for her. We’re so grateful for this school and the staff!

Everyone is so personable and I know my son is getting a great age appropriate education in Spanish. He has STEAM fairs, ample time outside, a quality curriculum, and the kindest teachers I have ever met.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience here! The teachers are loving, patient, and truly invested in the kids. Our one-year-old has thrived socially and developmentally. The Spanish immersion program is such a special one. We love that our child is being exposed to a second language in such a natural and fun way. Highly, highly recommend!

I’ve sent all 3 of my kids here! I couldn’t imagine a safer or more loving and caring environment than Spanish for Fun Duraleigh. Our family members rave about teachers and quality of care that they have witnessed when with us! Thanks Duraleigh!

The thought of leaving your first baby for the first time is full of nerves and anxiety. We toured multiple different providers back in 2023 and when we walked in to Spanish For Fun Duraleigh we felt immediate comfort and trust. Some that we toured just felt like the caretakers were there for a paycheck. The teachers here genuinely care about the children. And that’s exactly why our second baby goes here now. I wouldn’t trust another provider more with the care of my children. Thank you SFF!

Spanish for Fun Duraleigh is amazing! We started bringing our son here this year and it has been a wonderful experience. When we drop him off, he always has a smile on his face and everyone on the staff greets him by name. We receive photos and updates throughout the day on activities, bottle feeds, bathroom breaks, and naps through one convenient app. It is reassuring to stay up to date on how his day is going and know that he is getting everything he needs and then some. In the few weeks we have been attending, we have seen his skills grow each week and we are so thankful for the time his teachers put in to helping him grow and learn. SFF Duraleigh is a special place and I know he is receiving the best possible care when I’m at work every day! Cannot recommend this daycare enough!

We have been part of the SFF family for the past three years, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. Our oldest started when he was just three years old and had the most incredible experience all the way until he went off to Kindergarten. He then joined the school-age program and attended both the Cary and Wake Forest locations to continue learning Spanish. He loves SFF so much that he even returned for summer camp last year! From the very beginning, he was nurtured and loved like family. We always joked that he was the “celebrity” of the school because every single staff member knew him by name and greeted him with so much affection at drop-off and pick-up. Anytime we’ve had a question or concern, the staff has been incredibly responsive—quick to review camera footage, provide feedback, and address anything promptly and professionally. When our youngest son needed emergency care at age two due to his grandmother’s sudden illness, SFF went above and beyond to find him a spot as quickly as possible. We felt completely at ease knowing he would receive the same loving care that our oldest did. He has built lasting friendships and genuinely loves going to school. We were amazed to see how well-prepared our oldest was for Kindergarten—academically, socially, and even as a bilingual learner! SFF’s dedication to their students shines every single day, but especially during their international, holiday, and graduation performances, which are always so thoughtful and impressive. We are so grateful for the love, care, and commitment that SFF provides to every child and family. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Would not send my child anywhere else. Spanish immersion was very important to us as a bilingual family, but SFF offers so much more than just immersion. The teachers, Ms. Lidia especially, are true nurturers who love their jobs and their students, and it shows through the childrens' daily experiences. Our child has learned so much in the six months they have attended SFF, and we are at ease knowing they are happy to go to school every day and very well-cared for while there. Thank you SFF and thank you Ms. Lidia!!

Calificar con 5 estrellas a SFF Wake forest es poco. Nuestra hija llegó al centro el año pasado y fue un completo alivio para nosotros como padres porque nos dio la tranquilidad de saber que nuestra hija está en un lugar seguro, donde la tratan con cariño, desde la recepción, el personal de cocina, sus maestras Ms Karla y Ms Janina la recibieron como si fuera de su propia familia, me sorprendió muchísimo el hecho de que la directora Ms Eda se sabe de memoria el nombre de cada uno de los niños lo que muestra su interés para que cada uno de ellos se sienta como en casa. Las instalaciones, el aprendizaje de los niños con sus diferentes metodologías, las actividades de campo, los eventos que integran a las familias y a los niños. De verdad que saber que nuestra hija está en SFF wake forest nos ha dado muchísima tranquilidad y nos sentimos felices de pertenecer a esa gran familia. Muchas gracias recomiendo 100% este centro es increíble.

Spanish For Fun has been a really great experience for my child, the children are taken care of and the fact that they're getting exposed to Spanish so early on is invaluable. Couldn't ask for better teachers, shout out to Ms. Lidia who has the patience of a saint.

I don’t want to let more time pass without writing this review for the SFF administration. Since Mimi from the administrative staff no longer works in Cary, the childcare center feels very different. It is truly sad when valuable people like her are let go. I am a mother of a child at the center and Cary is not the same without Ms. Mimi. From the moment you walked in, she brought warmth and life to the center. She was always kind, welcoming, and treated both the children and families with genuine care. Many parents were deeply saddened by her departure. Several of us asked the teachers what could be done and who we could speak to because her absence is truly felt. Just last week the school was decorated for Valentine’s Day and there was no connection between the administrative staff and families at all. We also know the reason why she left, and honestly, it is ridiculous. This is not just a personal opinion, this message represents the feelings of a group of parents.
