Brillante Stories
Diane Duran
Brillante Parent
“Brilliante is more than just a preschool program; it is a blessing for our family. You've given our daughter a safe space to grow, learn, and develop the vital social skills she needed.”
A Brillante Practicum
Student
“I really enjoyed my time [in the Brillante classroom]! I took lots of notes about the language that [the Brillante team] used in the classroom and began using [it] the next day in my classroom. I am so thankful I was able to observe a classroom like this… it was so valuable to me!”
Florencia Monge
Brillante Parent
“Our daughter started in the Brillante classroom with limited English language, we speak Spanish at home, and her vocabulary and level of expression in English have flourished. This brings me a lot of peace as a parent since I know she will then be prepared to start in an all-English-speaking school in kindergarten next year.”
