Welcome to our Spanish class for little learners! I'm excited to offer your children a vibrant and interactive learning experience that's been thoughtfully designed to captivate and educate young minds.

As a native-speaking instructor with over 10 years of experience in teaching languages, I understand the importance of nurturing a child's natural curiosity. My approach leverages the advantages of being a native speaker to provide your children with an authentic introduction to the Spanish language, wrapped in fun and age-appropriate activities.

✨ Learn with delightful Spanish stories and songs, perfect for emergent speakers who are new to online learning! 📖 Our tales will be told on a soft flannel board, accompanied by catchy tunes and playful fingerplays to enhance our language adventure.

🌈 Why Flannel Boards? 🤔
Flannel stories engage your little ones as they watch narratives come to life. These boards are fantastic tools for teaching visual literacy—children observe and make sense of the colorful scenes before them, linking them to their own experiences.

🙌 Participation Time! 🎶
Prepare for a symphony of sounds! Tiny voices will echo animal noises and fun sound effects—all while learning Spanish! Children are welcome to participate, but if they prefer, they can simply listen and enjoy the experience.

💃 Dance moves and melodies will enrich our storytime, making Spanish learning joyful and memorable!

Here's what your little ones can look forward to in our classes:

Note to Parents:

I want to emphasize that my Spanish class is designed with early learners in mind. I understand that each child is unique and many go through a listening phase before feeling comfortable actively participating. 

In my classes, I celebrate this stage of auditory learning and encourage children to immerse themselves in the new language at their own pace.

Children are welcome to participate in activities and songs, but they will never be forced to do so. My goal is to create a positive and pressure-free learning environment where a love for the language can naturally blossom. I value your child's curiosity and comfort above all, and I am committed to guiding them through this linguistic adventure with patience and joy.
