Our Story
Built, class by class, by someone who loves doing it.
World Voices didn’t start as a business. I was a teacher in Mexico before we moved to San Diego, and I couldn’t imagine not teaching once we got here. A group of my Latina mom friends and I started a little summer camp one July because we wanted our own kids to have something meaningful, something in Spanish, something that felt like home. It grew. Other families asked in. A mom from the camp eventually offered me a Spanish-program license she couldn’t run, and I said yes. Everything since then has come from that same starting point: moms wanting more for our kids, and a teacher who couldn’t stop teaching.
Twenty-plus years later, I still teach the way I always have. Kids learn by listening first (the sounds of a language before the rules of it), and then by doing. Every kid is different. Every group is different. Every school is different. So every class gets built around the kids in front of me, not the other way around. My friends call me the Kid Whisperer. I’ll take it.

“They are by far the most enjoyable classes I’ve ever been a part of with my boys. They are learning so much, and the improvement in their Spanish is all due to how amazing this program is — it’s so hands-on and I love it.”

FAQ
A few things parents ask.
My child doesn’t speak any Spanish — is that okay?+
Absolutely. Most of our students start with little or no Spanish. Our small group sizes and play-based approach mean every child progresses at their own pace.
Is the after-school program at every San Diego school?+
We currently run at 8 partner schools. If you don’t see your school in the list above, tell us — we work directly with administrators to bring the program to new campuses.
My child already speaks Spanish at home. Will they be bored?+
Not at all. Martha shapes each class around the actual kids in it — heritage speakers and total beginners learn side by side. The program adapts to your child, not the other way around.
Can we sign up for just one summer camp week?+
Yes — each week stands alone. Many of our families pick a single week, especially visiting families on vacation in San Diego.
How do I enroll?+
Find your child’s school in the list above and we’ll get you the right session. For Summer Camp, pick a week and reserve your spot. Or just call Martha at 858.531.3775 — she’ll help you find the right fit.
