closeWe prepare children for reading and writing with a multi-sensory approach, including phonics and language experiences. Language materials are carefully sequenced, so children’s awareness of phonics rules gradually increases. Children acquire language naturally as they absorb what is spoken in their environment. They build their vocabulary through oral and written literacy. Sensory experiences with sand, paint, foam, chalk, oil pastels, and even shaving cream help keep learning letters fun. We have a blast singing, writing, tracing, drawing, hiding, and seeking our letters!

Language and Literacy
Arts and crafts
Scribbling with markers and crayons is a skill that sets the foundation for learning to write. Holding a paintbrush, stringing beads, and cutting with scissors all hone fine motor skills, which aids in things like learning to tie shoes, fasten buttons, and hold utensils. Mastering skills, completing art projects, and learning to express themselves in new ways help kids gain confidence and perseverance and practice patience. These things also help kids develop positive emotional responses to stressful situations. Painting, drawing, and sculpting help develop visual-spatial skills, especially in toddlers.
Arts and crafts
Culinary
The kitchen table begins the journey of sensory learning. Cooking engages the five senses through hands-on experiences: seeing, touching, hearing, smelling, and tasting. Cooking and baking can help young kids learn and practice basic math concepts and build vocabulary. The experience of creating meals helps build their self-confidence and lay the foundation for healthy eating habits. Our gardening and culinary curriculum also teaches us about the seasons. We explore fruits and vegetables weekly to learn about new flavors and tastes. These activities help children draw their own conclusions, form an appreciation for food, and learn the concept of cooking and baking with love!
Sensory exercises
All information young children take in goes through their five senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch). We design sensory activities to help refine these senses to help children achieve more detailed forms of classification in their brains. Each material isolates one defining quality such as color, weight, shape, texture, or size. Sensory materials help the child to distinguish, categorize, and relate to new information they already know.
Dramatic Play
An atmosphere of work permeates the room when children are busy with free play. Play is the work of the child. They are learning to develop a rich imagination to serve their reading comprehension as they take words on the page and transform them into narrative memory. They are also learning to compromise with their peers, communicate their desires, carry tasks to completion, and problem-solve with others. These are some of the last years for them to hone these essential skills, which will deepen and guide their academic lives throughout grade school.
Dramatic Play
math and science
Through the use of manipulatives, games, projects, and experiments, children learn basic principles of math and the scientific process. In science, the child’s natural curiosity is stimulated through discovery projects, experiments, and exploration of our outdoor environment. Learning these concepts will help prepare them to think critically and logically for our future world problems. Your preschooler will learn how to count, find and form shapes and patterns, measure, and sorts, categorizes, and compares objects, and interacts with and learns about nature.
music
Music is one of the most effective ways to acquire a second language. Children are attracted to different sounds, rhythms, and musical instruments. Music help develops their minds, Spanish language, and body by learning to sing and move to the lyrics, instruments, and rhythms. Your heart will burst when you hear your chiquitos sing the traditional, classic, and heartfelt songs passed down from generation to generation throughout Latin America and Spain.
practical life
Practical life activities help children care for themselves as well as the environment around them. These activities aim to aid in discipline, organization, independence, and self-esteem through concentration on a precise and completed cycle of work. All the practices of these life lessons fall into the following categories: care of the person, care of the environment, fine motor development, gross motor skills, grace, and courtesy.
dance and movement
Movement is another creative expression where students are encouraged to use their bodies through yoga, dance, and fun obstacle courses. Children use their imagination and develop coordination and mindfulness, which is key to a child’s emotional regulation.

With a focus on communication, connection, and classic summertime fun, chiquitos—both native and non-native Spanish speakers—learn and grow together in our Spanish Immersion Summer Camp.
