Whenever I'm going to purchase a course of any kind, I always want to know if there is a money-back guarantee. I get you! 

You're not afraid to invest in your business, as long as there is plenty of ROI to show for it...sooner than later. So here's why you can place your confidence in a money back guarantee and set any enrollment nerves aside. 

By the end of 14 days, you'll have received access to the current month of Digital Spanish Academy. Meaning you'll have had the opportunity for your staff to watch the teacher training videos and your teachers will have had time to begin teaching the current month's lesson. If after two weeks from the date of your first payment, you don't feel totally confident and motivated that DSA is right for your childcare center or school, simply reach out, explain why you don't feel it's the right fit, and we'll refund your investment. 
Questions your fellow digital Spanish course members asked before grabbing their access:
Picture
1. How much of it does DSA require daily? 
​
The DSA crew keeps it chill, serving up digital lessons from zilch to 30 minutes per week. Each weekly session is around 30 minutes, but don't worry, they break it down into bite-sized bits. For instance, during May's Week 1, there's a snappy 2-minute lesson on counting in Spanish from 1 to 10. So, you might just catch a 2-minute snippet that week. It's all about that sweet flexibility!

2.  I have never studied Spanish before. Are you sure I can do this? 
Absolutely! This program is your Spanish superhero cape! Even if Spanish sounds like gibberish to you, fear not! It's tailor-made for teachers diving into a whole new language world. Sit back and let the magic happen - digital lessons, audio guides, and bilingual materials will turn you into a Spanish maestro alongside your students. Saying "¡Hola!" with confidence has never been easier

3. How much prep time will my teachers need to prepare each lesson?
DSA makes teaching a breeze! Just hit "play" and let the digital lesson do its magic. The only thing left for you to do is carry out the follow-up activities. Maybe spruce up your space with the flashy flashcards, snag some colorful coloring sheets, (all are included) and voila! With parent newsletters ready to roll, you can copy-paste your way to newsletter glory.

4. Do I get the full year all at once?
DSA is like a VIP club where members get a double dose of fun - the latest month and the previous one! With a whirlwind of activities packed into each month, you'll be swimming in teaching material with access to two months at a time.

5. Is there a certain month that we should start with? 
Nope! Our DSA journey kicks off fresh with the current month and keeps the party going. With numbers, colors, and the alphabet as our trusty sidekicks all year round, any month is the right time to jump in and join the fun!
