What your child learns
Come ignite your Littles' superpower for learning languages as we practice school and literacy readiness through letters, numbers, colors and animals in this interactive lesson! Every week pairs a letter, a number, a color and an animal with songs, movement and a drawing activity, so the language attaches to something your child is already learning.
Sing and dance
Play activities like search-and-find
Use our bodies to form letters, then trace them on paper
Cover the weather, colors, numbers, letters, animals, shapes and patterns
Have a sharing time: bring a toy or stuffed animal to show your teacher and learn how to say it in Spanish
Use simple sentences like "Veo…" (I see…), "Me gusta…" (I like…), "Tengo…" (I have…) and "Estoy…" (I am…)
Practice writing and coloring at whatever level your child is at; every literacy stage is welcome
Use lots and lots of repetition
What a session looks like
Two age groups run separately, 3 to 6 and 6 to 10, but both follow the same predictable eight-step rhythm, so children know exactly what is coming next.

Questions parents ask about this stage
Do parents need to speak Spanish?
Not at all. No prior Spanish knowledge is required. We provide guidance and reinforcement materials so families can support learning at home.
What if my child is shy or doesn't speak right away?
That's completely normal. We honor the quiet phase of language learning and gently encourage participation at each child's pace. Confidence grows naturally with consistency.
Can siblings learn together?
Yes! Siblings join free when they can learn together in the same session. As a general guideline, siblings should be within about 2–3 years of each other and at reasonably similar Spanish levels. Only one learner needs to be booked. Read the siblings policy.
