Sparking Creativity and Developing Tiny Learning Buds

It’s hard to imagine our kids can be even more creative than they are now, as they’re already brimming with so much creativity and unbridled imagination. But learning a new language is actually known to boost creativity. Strangely, the more your child develops their new language capabilities, the greater they’ll be at inventing new creative ideas for language learning. Essentially like an amazing feedback loop that continually helps them continually improve their language learning over time. Our Spanish classes for kids will also help increase children’s creativity, in terms of their ability to describe and understand different things. A word in another language often won’t translate literally back into your child’s native tongue. That’s why learning Spanish is a lovely way for them to flex their creativity and discover how to say things in a new way.

Longitudinal studies by Harvard University confirm that learning additional languages increases critical thinking skills, creativity and flexibility of the mind in young children. Click here to read more about this study.

Stimulating Plenty of Family Laughing Time!

Kids do the funniest things. It simply isn’t possible for them to make us chuckle more than they already do, right?.. Wrong! Humour often gets lost in translation, as the jokes we find funny in English might not be as funny in another language. Your child having access to a new language, means they’ll access a new sense of humour, too. Another brilliant way to develop socially, form bonds later in life and bring a little extra joy.

Toddler Programme

Suitable for babies up to 3 years of age. It’s a music and multi-sensory class using signs, actions, and a heavy helping of Spanish pizzazz! Toddlers and parents learn the language together with songs and interactive games. Introducing this early in the crucial stages of a child’s development, means children can easily stay open to particular sounds of the Spanish language. But it’s not just the language learning playing an important role - it’s also the way we support children’s general development in all areas of learning. We encourage development across the six areas of learning: personal, social and emotional development; communication and literacy; reasoning and numeracy; knowledge and understanding of the world; physical development and creative development. We do this by teaching Spanish through storytelling, arts and crafts, movement activities, matching and categorising, music, sign language, puppets, sensory exploration and more. This is an incredibly valuable experience for children, and even provides an opportunity to create friendships with like-minded families. If you’d like to set up a class in your area, we’ll work with you to achieve that!

Preschoolers Programme

These Spanish classes for kids are packed with songs, lively games, story-telling, drama and a lovely dose of imagination to bring the language to life and inspire our little learners. Our teaching method immerses children in the language through stories and songs, with books that are actually used in Spain and Latin America to teach children! We explore the language in these books through a wide range of activities that ensure children are kept engaged and eager to learn. Children get to experience all the classic stories, traditional games, snappy songs and activities that every child growing up in Spanish speaking countries do.

Junior Programme

This programme is suitable for children from 6-12 years of age. It’s a fun focussed language experience encouraging structured and independent learning through games, role play and music and drama. Children start to explore the world of reading and writing in Spanish, along with simple grammar rules, through a host of games and purposeful material. This programme provides more concrete classes based on certain projects, and we provide resources to teach children grammar, reading and writing through play and simple explanations. However, we still ensure the learning environment is centred on action. We implore a ‘make and we do’ method to teach. So Spanish is never simply a subject learn, but a tool for communication they grow to use. This is the most effective way to learn any language - actively and not passively!
