This Waldorf-inspired Spanish immersion class is designed especially for young children. Students are gently introduced to Spanish through developmentally appropriate, joyful activities such as storytelling, singing, movement, finger plays, and watercolor painting. In a 90% Spanish-speaking environment, your child will hear and absorb the language naturally—just as they learned their first language. Each week focuses on a different theme such as greetings, feelings, body parts, animals, colors, and numbers. The vocabulary is brought to life through rhythm, repetition, and visual storytelling, all presented with warmth and care. Our Spanish teacher is Waldorf-trained and uses an imaginative, artistic approach that honors the pace and curiosity of early childhood. Each class includes a hands-on art activity related to the weekly theme, giving children another way to engage with Spanish vocabulary through meaningful context and gentle instruction.
