About the Business
KSS Immersion Preschool of Oakland - Lincoln Highlands is a school located at 2540 Charleston Street in Oakland, California, United States. As part of Kids Speaking Spanish (KSS), we offer a full-time Spanish immersion program for children aged two to six in the Bay Area. Our program combines quality early childhood education with immersion in the Spanish language, providing students with a unique advantage in their education and future endeavors. Research shows that early language immersion learners benefit cognitively, demonstrating greater problem-solving abilities and flexible thinking.
Our experienced Maestras from Spanish-speaking countries around the world provide caring instruction to help students flourish in our immersion program. We have convenient locations in Albany, Oakland - Montclair, Oakland - Lincoln Highlands, Walnut Creek, and San Jose - Willow Glen. Our Reggio Emilia inspired, child-centered approach focuses on social, emotional, and academic development, promoting cultural diversity and Spanish fluency.
At KSS Immersion Preschool, we strive to empower our students to thrive in their communities, schools, and beyond. Our teachers work closely with the Parents Association to ensure the success of every child. We offer a language immersion camp that introduces children to the world of summer camps while incorporating fun, learning, and cultural exploration. Our program is designed for children aged 2.5 years old up to those transitioning into first grade.
Parents have expressed satisfaction with their children's experiences at KSS-Walnut Creek, praising the exceptional teachers and the warm, welcoming environment. Our commitment to immersion learning allows children to not only learn a new language but also thrive in it, creating a safe and nurturing space for self-expression in both English and Spanish.
For parents who value multilingualism, starting their child's formal education with a Spanish immersion preschool can provide numerous benefits. Bilingual children expand their awareness of the world and gain cognitive advantages, while students from Spanish-speaking homes can maintain their cultural heritage. We are proud to support our students on their journey towards becoming multilingual and culturally aware individuals.

"I would like to start by thanking all maestras at KSS Lincoln Highlands. My son attends this school since he was 2, He is 5 now, I love the program and how professional and well prepared the teachers are, every day, they prepare new activities to push, challenge and encourage each kid to keep them focused, everything is very well organized and all the material is reachable for the children so they can decide on what to spend their time when is time to do an activity. Maestras are very kind and make me feel very comfortable every day when leaving my kid because I know he is in good hands. When I heard they are opening up for kindergarten I got very excited and for sure my son is continuing with KSS. I Love their well developed program and they are always looking for ways to improve on every possible way on the kid's benefit."
"Our daughter attends KSS. It is a wonderful preschool the Director and Maestras are incredible at the Oakland campus. The negatives I would like to call out which are two pretty big ones are that the school is NOT diverse. There was only one other family of color (black & brown) at the school. KSS recently raised their tuition prices from $24k a year to $32k (and yes you are locked in to a full 10 month school year). Their school time changed from full day (7am-6pm) to now only offering 9am-3pm for the lower tuition price. With little to no improvements to the curriculum, the maestras don’t see the raised tuition prices reflected in their pay; which is disheartening since they do all the work. We really appreciated the time we spent at KSS and the loving environment the maestras created for our daughter, but we are happy to say she will be at another Spanish Immersion school where she will be around other children that look like her and the price of tuition is reasonable for a family in the Bay Area. Food is served on campus so parents don’t have to worry about packing a lunch. Her new school uses Brightwheel app by updating parents throughout the day with photos and reports NOT just for clearing payment for tuition ( as KSS app Procare does) and the learning curriculum is shared with parents in advance. I definitely recommend looking around at other language schools before settling on KSS. The organization seems to care more about profits than it’s staff and parents who pay for their children to attend the school."
