At Little Acorn Montessori Preschool in Rancho Bernardo, our Spanish Immersion program introduces children to a second language in a natural, joyful, and developmentally appropriate way. Language is learned through songs, movement, daily conversation, and play, allowing children to absorb Spanish just as they learned their first language—with ease and confidence.
A Gentle, Natural Approach to Language
Children are immersed in Spanish through meaningful, everyday experiences. Our Spanish teacher speak Spanish during circle time, play, routines, songs, and activities, helping children develop listening comprehension and confidence without pressure.
Language learning is woven into:
- Songs and finger plays
- Movement and games
- Storytelling and puppet shows
- Daily classroom routines
Children learn because it is fun, engaging, and connected to real life.
Learning Through Movement, Dance, Music, and Play
Movement and Dance plays an important role in our Spanish Immersion program. Children move their bodies while learning words and phrases, helping language connect deeply in the brain. Songs, gestures, and rhythmic movement make vocabulary memorable and joyful.
This playful approach supports:
- Pronunciation and listening skills
- Memory and recall
- Confidence using a new language
Building Confidence and Cultural Awareness
Spanish immersion helps children feel proud of their abilities and curious about the world. Children gain confidence as they understand and use new words, while also developing respect for other cultures and ways of communicating.
A Program That Fits Naturally Into Our Day
Spanish immersion blends seamlessly with our Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio-inspired approach. Children continue to enjoy hands-on learning, imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and social development—now enriched with a second language.
