The Language Grove Preschool is proud to offer children a Spanish Immersion language program naturally infused into our non-traditional play & project based curriculum. Languages are most easily learned during the early years as a child’s brain is developing and readily absorbs a second language.
Our children are learning Spanish through an immersion model approach on a daily basis, all day long. We are committed to providing authentic language exposure to children through student-directed lesson plans that incorporate service-learning, community involvement, environmental activism, and culturally based activities. Our main objective is to foster a union between children of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds in a safe, enjoyable atmosphere. Our bilingual immersion program incorporates components of visual, music, and verbal exchange to make leaning a new language fun and inviting for young children regardless of previous language exposure, language levels, or maturity levels.
