Language Learning

Our approach to language learning is immersion. Children hear and use multiple languages throughout the day, building communication skills, cultural awareness, and confidence. By weaving words and phrases naturally into routines, songs, and play, we open new ways for children to express themselves and connect with others.

Sign Language in the Toddler Classroom

  • Daily Routines: Toddlers learn basic signs such as more, please, thank you, and all done during meals, transitions, and play.

  • Songs & Stories: Teachers incorporate sign language into music, fingerplays, and read-alouds to make learning interactive and fun.

  • Family Connection: Parents receive resources to practice simple signs at home, reinforcing communication across settings.

Spanish in the Preschool Classroom

  • Everyday Phrases: Preschoolers are introduced to common Spanish words and greetings during routines like snack, circle time, and transitions.

  • Games & Play: Language games, songs, and hands-on activities make Spanish learning playful and engaging.

  • Cultural Celebrations: Stories, music, and traditions from Spanish-speaking cultures help children appreciate diversity and global connections.

Why It Matters

Through early exposure to sign language and Spanish, children:

  • Build stronger communication and listening skills.

  • Develop empathy and appreciation for diverse cultures.

  • Gain confidence expressing themselves in multiple ways.

  • Lay the foundation for future language learning.
