A Warm, Play-Based Start to Spanish Immersion
At Spanish With Sarah, our early learning program introduces young learners to Spanish through play, routine, and meaningful connection. Students learn naturally with native-speaking teachers while building early literacy, numeracy, social–emotional skills, and school readiness. Our early learning programs are intentionally structured to meet children where they are developmentally while gradually building the skills, independence, and stamina needed for success in our K–5 classrooms.
Program Overview
Program Overview
Our preschoolers learn Spanish the same way young children learn their first language — through meaningful play, conversation, songs, and daily routines led by native Spanish-speaking teachers.
Children learn to:
Follow simple and multi-step directions in Spanish
Build vocabulary through interactive play
Develop early literacy and math concepts
Strengthen social skills and independence
Participate confidently in classroom routines and group activities
Preschool enrollment is intentionally limited to ensure small group sizes and developmentally appropriate pacing.
