¡Bienvenidos!
Welcome to The Spanish Playhouse,
a space we’ve created to offer an authentic Spanish immersion experience through the arts.
What is Spanish Immersion through the Arts?
Spanish is taught naturally through creative activities based in the arts; Theater, Music, Painting, Dance, and more.
Our Programs
We offer three Spanish immersion programs;
Full Spanish Immersion Day Program
Mommy/Daddy & Me Spanish
Kids Spanish
Each program is taught in a relaxed, supportive, and individualized setting. Students are not pressured, but rather encouraged to speak Spanish through fun activities designed for each age group.
*No previous language/arts experience needed
Benefits
Participating in a Spanish Immersion program provides many benefits. Students will emerge from the program with proficiency in two languages. Having the capacity to speak in two languages gives most individuals an advantage in the workplace. Through immersion, students develop a deeper understanding of the language and are often able to produce native-like speech.
Learning through the arts encourages self-expression, creativity and can build confidence as well as a sense of self. We use the Arts as a teaching gateway in our Spanish Immersion program to enhance the educational process. Research has shown that participating in artistic activities nourishes our integrated sensory, attentional, cognitive, emotional, and motor capacities which are all driving forces behind all other learning.
As our students learn a new language through immersion, they are also developing their creative skills. Skills that have endless benefits in our personal and professional development.
Mission
Statement
To facilitate a dynamic Spanish immersion environment for young children from diverse backgrounds. Through engaging experiences and the integration of various art forms, we aim to develop language skills and a deep appreciation for artistic expression.
