Spanish Immersion Daycare and Preschool in Wheaton, IL
Rayito de Sol Wheaton is on South Naperville Road. It is a full-day Spanish immersion school for children from infancy through kindergarten readiness, which makes it a different proposition from the Spanish enrichment classes available elsewhere in DuPage County. Here, Spanish is not a subject. It is the language the day happens in.
SPANISH IMMERSION - 100% language and cultural immersion, all day.
Why Families Choose Wheaton
Full immersion, not enrichment.
A weekly Spanish class teaches vocabulary. A full day in Spanish, every day, builds fluency. The difference compounds over years.
Teachers who speak it first.
Every classroom is led by native Spanish speakers. Children absorb real pronunciation and rhythm, not an approximation of it.
A long day that works.
Open 7:00am to 6:00pm, with room at both ends so drop-off and pickup fit around your schedule.
Meet Your Director
Rocio · Center Director
Rocio was born and raised in Chicago to parents who immigrated from Mexico. Hard work, family and cultural pride shaped how she was brought up, and they shape how she runs this school. Her own path into early education began when her first child was born; she went on to earn an associate degree in the field and has spent more than eight years in it since. She is at her best helping a family work out what their child needs.
A day at Wheaton
Children are met in Spanish and stay in it. The morning holds the structured work: a STEAM project, a thematic unit, early literacy for the Kinder-Prep group. Afternoons open out into outdoor play, art and music. The youngest children follow their own schedules, with the same Spanish around them all day.
