Mis Amigos Preschool

What Mis Amigos Preschool does

Mis Amigos Preschool is a privately held, Spanish-immersion early childhood education provider headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. Founded in 2001 and acquired by current Owner/CEO Dawn Uribe in 2005, the company delivers full Spanish-language immersion day care and preschool for children from 6 weeks through pre-kindergarten, organized into four age-segmented programs (Infants, Toddlers, Transition, Older Preschool) plus a Super Amigos summer program and a Bebé y Yo parent-child class. As of 2024, the company serves over 200 children across four operating locations in the Twin Cities (St. Paul, Golden Valley, Excelsior, Plymouth), with a fifth Edina location announced for August 2026. Leadership is anchored by CEO Dawn Uribe, COO Lori Semke, and Director of Curriculum & Music Mayra Flodstrom (with the company since 2003).

The core product is a proprietary Spanish-immersion curriculum developed over 20+ years, layered on the research-backed Creative Curriculum framework and STEAM methodology, with weekly thematic units rotating on a two-year cycle, weekly music and movement classes taught in-house, and enrichments such as baby signing, dramatic play, and outdoor learning. All teaching is delivered by native, documented Spanish-speaking teachers in small-group ratios that meet Minnesota state guidelines. The company operates an integrated technology layer through the third-party 1Core Parent App, which provides real-time updates, daily photos, milestone tracking, and direct messaging with teachers. Operations are credentialed by the highest 4-star Parent Aware rating and NAEYC accreditation.

The business model is tuition-based, subscription-recurring, and direct-to-consumer. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; families inquire via phone, text, website forms, or in-person tours and are guided by a dedicated enrollment specialist (Faby Lara). Discounts and financial-aid programs include a 10% sibling discount, an 8-week summer-off benefit for teacher parents, a $600 January enrollment promotion, a referral program, plus acceptance of the Minnesota Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) and Pathway I Scholarships. Marketing is multi-channel — organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), a monthly newsletter, community events (Fall Festival, Spring Festival, Winter Olympics), parent testimonials, and a scholarship/community program — supporting direct enrollment at physical sites only, with no online or remote delivery option. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed outside equity investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company.

• Primrose Schools: National accredited private preschool franchise network with a balanced learning curriculum. Comparable as a multi-location premium preschool brand, though not bilingual-immersion focused.
• Children's Learning Adventure: Premium early childhood education provider with multiple locations offering infant through pre-K programs. Comparable as a multi-location premium preschool operator, though without a Spanish-immersion specialization.
