Amigos/Friends 2.5-5 years
In this age group, children will explore the current theme through structured classes that involve songs, puppet shows, stories, music, and imaginative adventures in Spanish. Children will also engage in additional activities, including "Calendar Time" and age-appropriate games. They will also have the opportunity to do an occasional theme-related craft.
Amiguitos/Little Friends 1-2.5 years
In this age group, much emphasis is placed on theme-related music and movement. Children and their parent/caregiver will be singing, dancing and playing instruments to developmentally-appropriate (and many familiar!) songs in Spanish. They will also enjoy story-time, and the use of puppets to accompany them on their adventures through the farm, the jungle or whatever theme we are exploring! Children will also have a change to do occasional theme-related crafts.
La Familia/Family Class 1-5 years
Hola La families can learn Spanish together! The curriculum will be similar to our Siblings and Friends class, with greater emphasis placed on "family participation"! We hope to offer other family classes in the future to incorporate older children as well.
