Kindergarten has Spanish three times a week for 30 minutes (90 mins/week).
Kindergarten is the first year most of our students are introduced to Spanish. At this stage, much of the curriculum focuses on foundational language skills and reinforcing concepts they’re already learning in their general classrooms—such as colors, numbers, calendar routines, patterns, and animals. To support their understanding and help them make meaningful connections, we incorporate a variety of simple texts and stories. These engaging, literacy-based materials allow young learners to absorb Spanish naturally through repetition, visuals, and context.
At the heart of our FLES Spanish program is a strong commitment to literacy-based language learning. Grounded in the research of language acquisition expert Stephen Krashen, we believe that compelling, comprehensible input—especially through reading—is one of the most powerful tools for language development. Reading provides students with repeated exposure to vocabulary, grammatical structures, and cultural context in a meaningful and memorable way. By engaging with rich and age-appropriate texts, students build both confidence and fluency as they internalize language naturally. This is why our curriculum includes carefully chosen chapter books and stories that support both linguistic growth and cultural understanding.
