Spanish Immersion Preschool
We offer a three-day Spanish immersion program for children ages three and four to advance your child’s cognitive and social development in a nurturing and stimulating environment. We combine a preschool curriculum with a Spanish immersion experience. Young minds are particularly receptive to language learning, which we reinforce through music, games, interactive exercises, and dramatic expression to help children retain the vocabulary. By limiting enrollment in our language immersion program, we ensure teachers can give each student individual attention, encouraging them to stay engaged and boosting confidence levels. What is unique about our immersion program preschool compared to the typical enrichment language classes offered at our centers is that children are immersed in the language for three hours a day, three days a week, rather than once a week for 30 minutes (or more, depending on the center).
Three's
Our preschool program is designed to encourage our three-year-olds to develop respect and appreciation for other cultures through our global curriculum, including weekly Spanish classes taught by an experienced bilingual preschool teacher. Children learn language skills through stories, music, and games in an immersive, interactive environment, with a learning program tailored to preschoolers’ unique needs.
