Spanish Immersion Daycare and Preschool in Minnetonka, MN

Rayito de Sol Minnetonka is at Williston Road and Minnetonka Boulevard. Minnetonka families have strong public schools ahead of them, several with language programs. What happens here comes first and cannot be recovered later: a child under five absorbs a second language rather than studying it.

Meet Your Director

Kimberly · Center Director

Kimberly has been part of Rayito de Sol for more than twelve years. Originally from Nayarit, Mexico, she is currently completing a bachelorʼs degree in education while leading this school. Her style is hands-on and quiet; she is usually in a classroom rather than behind a desk. What she talks about is confidence, watching a child who arrived shy start to lead.

Ask a Question

A day at Minnetonka

Spanish from 7:00 to 6:00. The morning holds structured work, a STEAM project or a thematic unit, with early literacy for the oldest group. Afternoons are outdoor time, art and music. Infants and toddlers follow their own rhythm, surrounded by the same Spanish all day.

Questions parents ask
Will my child be ready for a Minnetonka elementary school?

Yes, whether that school is English-only, dual-language or immersion. Our Kinder-Prep program gives children the foundation they need to succeed in elementary school.

Does immersion delay English?

No. English milestones arrive on schedule, and the research consistently finds advantages in executive function.
