“Tierra Encantada is a truly special place where you feel like you can trust each and every person to truly care for your child. We have an infant who is in a small classroom and receives a ton of attention all day long! The food is excellent for our child, too! The best thing about Tierra Encantada is the people. The teachers are thoughtful and attentive, giving the little ones so much love; the staff is always extremely supportive and responsive. We feel like our baby is in an extension of our home.”

Amazing Meals Included in Tuition

“The food they serve is great – I’ve stopped during meal times, and it’s so much better than the menus we saw at other centers. She has developed a great palate for different foods because of the variety she gets at Tierra Encantada. She happily eats vegetables and fruit, avocados, beans, eggs, and quinoa! I can’t imagine sending her anywhere else.”
