Preschool

A first encounter with Spanish through play, song and storytelling.

Preschool

First words, first roots

In the early years Spanish arrives through play: songs, stories, circle games and shared routines. The goal is not yet reading and writing, but that the language sounds familiar and Saturday becomes a place children want to return to.
