ABOUT US
At Mi Casita de Español the teachers work with the children to provide a nurturing, caring, and safe learning environment filled with energy where the children love to learn in Spanish.
We strongly believe that children need to be allowed to be children and play. Research has proven that hands-on exploration coupled with loving guidance is how children best learn. Therefore, we do not teach Spanish, we speak Spanish while we guide the children as they develop. We engage the children through interactive activities and allow them to explore and discover the world around them.
In our school, we provide year-round, full-time and part-time education for potty-trained children ages 2.5 to 5 years old. Our nurturing environment and low teacher-to-child ratio allows for us to personally learn about your child’s interests, abilities and personality in order to maximize their potential. This personalized approach allows the children to develop social skills, dialogue enhancement, language retention, while also accelerating your child’s cognitive and emotional development all while learning a second language.
