Bilingual education at an early age offers the most flexibility for shaping creative minds. Toddlers are less self-conscious than older learners and are willing to try newly acquired language skills while minimizing their fear of embarrassment. This social is structured as 90% Spanish immersion. Our bilingual teachers support their words with body language, context, gestures, intonation, and visual aids.
This Spanish social introduces and reinforces Spanish while giving children opportunities for self-discovery, exploration, learning, and creativity. The Chiqui Social is the foundation for our year-round programs as we guide children through the five stages of language acquisition: comprehension participation, confidence, literacy and, finally, conversation.
Through socialization and collaboration, it does not take long before children begin to understand basic directions and information in their new language.

Schedule coming soon!
With the proliferation of book clubs for adults, it’s no wonder that children are wondering: Where are the book clubs for kids? But with homework, sports, and much more competing for your child’s time (and yours) the idea of setting aside a couple of hours every month or two to discuss books can be daunting.
Join The Chiqui Social Chapter Book Club. Every second Friday of the month we will be discussing English and Spanish language books. Check the schedule for your preferred language. Join one or both!
We will read excerpts, provide a snack and have themed activities where applicable.
