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 class is structured as 90% Spanish immersion. While your child may speak in English at the beginning, our bilingual teachers will always respond in Spanish, supporting their words with body language, context, gestures, intonation, and visual aids.
This class 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.

For native Spanish speakers, this social will offer an opportunity to practice Spanish together and increase connection to Latin culture and heritage so you can better communicate with family here and abroad. For non-native speakers, your family will learn about different traditions, language patterns, and new ways of expressing yourselves. Acquiring a new language has never been more fun for the whole family! This program also includes a take-home kit to continue the learning at home.
