My kid loves going to LIOTA! ALWAYS comes home with the biggest smile and the coolest facts he learned that day. Can’t recommend them enough 💓 you rarely come by a place where kids are truly listened to and this is one of those places

My son attended Liota and pulled him out after several red flags. The school is an over priced day care . Not part of SEP so if you try to transfer your child to another school, you will find yourself facing a lot of difficulties. They are very unorganized, they will notify the parents of field trips the night before and hold parents accountable to chaperone because the school does not invest in safe reliable transportation to any excursions. My son was not growing academically and when I raised my concerns I was told I had no right to tell them how to run their school and was basically blamed for my son’s progress. They overwhelm children with multiple languages at a time instead of focusing in English and Spanish which is crucial here in Mexico . Tuition is more expensive than your traditional private school and they push parents to pay cash or throw and additional 16% . So much of what they do there feels shady and unethical. I am not one to post negative reviews but I hope this helps out other parents as I was put through a lot of stress trying to pull my son out.

I have been blessed to teach the children at Liota. I’m given the opportunity to provide eager learners with new and exciting educational experiences that empower children to nourish their minds. I’m grateful for the teamwork we have which gives us the fuel to provide an incredible learning experience.
