Group lessons are a fun, interactive way for children to learn a second or third language. Our curriculum incorporates music, movement, games, stories, and art. Our goal is to cultivate a love of both the language and culture in your child. Our curriculum is designed by New York State certified teachers. It is both educationally sound and fun!

Classes for the older children are 45 minutes long and for the younger children they are 30 minutes long. Classes typically meet once a week. Of course, you can register your child for as many weekly classes as you like. If you would like to register your child for a second class during the week, he/she will receive a 10% discount on the second class. With the increased frequency, you are certain to see your child's proficiency level improve. If you would like to register more than one child for our language program, the additional child(ren) will receive a 10% discount on classes.

Each class is centered around a theme, such as the rain forest, a season, or parts of the body. In addition, Hispanic culture is incorporated into the lessons as well as science, math, history and social studies. Each class reinforces basic language skills, such as using Spanish for talking about numbers, colors, seasons, days of the week, and carrying out short conversations. The beautiful thing about teaching a foreign language to young children, is
that the teaching can be content based.

If the group classes will not fit into your schedule, we would be happy to work with your child privately. The rate for private children's classes is $40.00 per hour. Depending on your child's age, a 30 minute-long class may be appropriate.

Parents will be provided with an English / Spanish vocabulary list. In addition, we will have a public performance in February of 2009, held at the Mala Ave. Elementary School. Invite your entire family to see your child sing in Spanish.
