Our Story

In 2002, our visionary founder, Luisa Fuentes, ignited a revolution in early childhood education. With a burning passion for full Spanish immersion and uncompromising quality, Luisa established the very first Rayito de Sol school. As a latina professional, she embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship, education, and cultural leadership within the BIPOC community.

Drawing upon two decades of experience, Luisa and her exceptional team have refined their approach, blending the richness of cultural authenticity with cutting-edge education. We’ve embraced the power of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) in every classroom, fostering an environment where young minds thrive. Our commitment to excellence has earned us prestigious accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the oldest and largest certifying organization in the nation, as well as local and regional acclaim.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum fosters social-emotional, cognitive, language, and physical development in children ages 6 months – 6 years. This includes providing activities that promote language skills, creative expression, problem-solving, and math in a stimulating learning environment. Culture is integrated into all aspects of learning through native Spanish-speaking teachers and staff who deliver our curriculum in a nurturing way.

NAEYC Accreditation

We take immense pride in our NAEYC accreditation, the pinnacle of recognition in early childhood education. Rayito de Sol has earned this esteemed distinction by upholding the highest standards on teacher development, school curriculum, physical environment, health, leadership and management.

Obtaining this prestigious accreditation ensures the program offers young children the highest quality of care and education; Only 12% of the early childhood programs in the nation are awarded this accreditation, and Rayito de Sol is one of them!

STEAM Approach
