Spanish Immersion means that your child is immersed, or surrounded by, the Spanish language during his or her preschool/after school day. Your child will experience all of the joys of regular preschool and after school care - in Spanish! Our unique Spanish Immersion program strives for academic excellence in education while giving children invaluable skills of comprehension and use of the Spanish language.

Our preschool programs are designed for children who don't necessarily Speak Spanish but have the parents willing to make the commitment required for the children to learn Spanish.  Our after school program is design for children who have been exposed to Spanish at home by a main care giver, graduate from our preschool program or are in a Dual Immersion program.  We immerse varying levels of proficiency in the language along with our Spanish instructional activities to provide experiences presented in a typical daycare program.

Teachers are there to encourage the Spanish language and make sure that the children feel secure and comfortable in the environment of our preschool and after school care programs.  But most importantly we want your child to have FUN!
