Description: 

This class promotes the development of essential early childhood skills like imagination, self-confidence, motor skills, socialization, separation-adjustment process, and the natural acquisition of the Spanish language. Children are exposed to a several types of theme-based projects with engaging activities ranging from art and craft to games, stories, songs, cooking, gardening, science, yoga, puppets, music, math, pre-reading & pre-writing and more! Through the use of language teaching strategies, elaboration of material, and the incorporation of a positive environment among students and teachers, learning Spanish is more efficient, natural, successful and enjoyable for all children.
