Welcome! I'm Dr. Ayishah Dennis, the founder of Bilingual Beginnings. In 2006, I was a Spanish teacher in a public school teaching students, ages 11–18 and started a Spanish language program for children ages 3–11 in a private Montessori after school program. 

I am passionate about teaching children Spanish because they easily absorb the language they hear when it is introduced using an immersive approach.

Our Curriculum:
Bilingual Beginnings provides its own curriculum that is visually immersive and age-appropriate. Our curriculum is adaptive and caters to every student's learning needs. We teach literacy, basic mathematics, and science concepts in Spanish. Our goal is for students to naturally acquire Spanish while learning academic concepts and developing social skills 

Our Teachers: 
Our teachers are passionate educators with expertise in their subject and a love for teaching children. They have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree and more than 10 years teaching experience. All of our teachers have virtual teaching experience, and trained in effective teaching strategies.
