Our Spanish enrichment program for infants, toddlers, preschool, and pre-k children offers children a meaningful opportunity to engage with the Spanish language and culture, nurturing a lasting appreciation for linguistic diversity and multicultural understanding.

Group Time

Our early childhood Spanish classes includes weekly interactive “group time” lessons featuring songs, books, finger plays, and fun for all programs—infants through pre-kindergarten.

Preschool and pre-kindergarten children join small group Spanish play labs weekly to create projects, play games, converse, and explore experiences and provocations relating to current Spanish themes.

Families receive frequent communication with newsletters highlighting activities, games, and tips to reinforce the Spanish language at home—extending the benefits of our early childhood Spanish program beyond the classroom.

Building Language and Cultural Foundations Through Spanish

¡Bienvenidos! At Kinderberry Hill, we believe that early exposure to a second language opens doors to a lifetime of learning and cultural understanding. Our Spanish Wonder Lab introduces children to the Spanish language through music, play, movement, and exploration. Our Spanish curriculum is intentionally designed for every age group, from infants to pre-kindergarten. Each week, children participate in interactive “group time” Spanish lessons filled with songs, books, finger plays, and age-appropriate fun. The lessons are designed to develop a love of language and create associations with the Spanish language from the very beginning.

Our intermediate and pre-kindergarten students deepen their experience through weekly Spanish play labs. In these small groups, children:

Explore hands-on activities and projects.
Play games that reinforce vocabulary and comprehension.
Engage in beginner-friendly dialogues.
Investigate provocations that spark curiosity while supporting Spanish language development.
Connect with other children in fun and meaningful ways that support their emotional growth and language development.
