Our program was designed to help your child be a proficient Spanish speaker and a future reader. It will lay a strong foundation for your child to be able to transition to a Spanish immersion kindergarten or Elementary school.
All the activities are done in Spanish, including play, reading and music. As a result, children pick up Spanish naturally as they would in any 100% Spanish speaking household.
There are many reasons you would want your child to be multilingual, but let me share one reason why you would opt in for a program like this. Bilingual and multilingual children learn “early in life to successfully resolve language conflicts and, to achieve this, they better develop brain structures related to the executive control” (Videsott et al. 885)
This means bilingual and multilingual brains are better equipped to perform different tasks simultaneously. The exercise of switching from language to language, and everything this entails, allows their brains to develop skills and thought processes that facilitate executive control. For example, the ability to determine which word order syntax is required in each language primes the child’s brain for multitasking.
