One of the schools in my area has a "Spanish immersion" program; I just looked it up and they use a 90/10 model, meaning 90% of their interactions are in Spanish and 10% are in English. Since most of the kids in this program speak English at home, using Spanish most of the time at school gives adequate time for them to practice both languages.

This is totally not my situation since I live in Mexico, but were I in your situation, I would vote 100%. If your child is speaking English at home that is enough English. Also, we are talking about daycare, not regular school. If it were normal school I would want to be sure the child is learning to write and read correctly in both languages, but that is not the case with a daycare. (FWIW we speak both at home and my child will go to an English-language school, but living in a Spanish-speaking country should keep everything pretty balanced out.)

Is this a full time day care (like 9-5 or there abouts)? I don't have a LO yet, so I'm not at all speaking from experience, but I feel like if they are spending 8 hours a day there, I'd want a good percentage of it in English, too. I don't think I would want them to only be learning English at night and on the weekends. But I guess, how old are the kids, too-- if they are already speaking, like 3-4+, then I would be far less concerned about getting enough English there.
Either way, I definitely wished I learned another language earlier-- I started in high school and never picked it up at all.

I voted 100% as well. Our son will be starting the chinese track at a language immersion school this fall. They speak 100% in the foreign language.
