Spanish Immersion PreK

At Your Child’s World, Roslyn, Spanish immersion is not about pressure or perfection—it’s about exposure, confidence, and joy in a nurturing environment.

Here’s what a strong Pre-K Spanish immersion classroom usually looks like in real life:

⸻

🌈 The Environment

• Everything is labeled in Spanish (often with pictures): la puerta, la mesa, la silla, los colores

• Bright, inviting centers: dramatic play, blocks, art, reading—each with Spanish signage

• Bookshelves full of Spanish (and some bilingual) books, especially repetitive, rhythmic ones

• Visual schedules in Spanish so children know what’s coming next

• Songs, poems, and rhymes posted on the walls (Los días de la semana, Las vocales)

⸻

🧸 Daily Activities (All in Spanish)

• Circle time in Spanish: greetings, calendar, weather, songs

• Play-based learning—teachers narrate play in Spanish:

“Estás construyendo una torre alta.”

• Hands-on activities: art, cooking projects, science exploration—language is woven in naturally

• Music and movement: lots of repetition through songs and games

• Storytime with gestures, props, and pictures to support understanding

Kids aren’t expected to speak Spanish right away—listening comes first.

⸻

🗣️ Language Approach

• Teachers speak Spanish nearly 100% of the time

• English is not translated word-for-word—meaning is shown through:

• gestures

• facial expressions

• visuals

• routines

• Children respond however they’re comfortable:

• pointing

• nodding

• using English at first

• gradually mixing in Spanish words

This is totally normal and encouraged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at yourchildsworld@aol.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

❓ What is a Spanish immersion classroom?

A Spanish immersion classroom is one where children hear and experience Spanish throughout the day during normal activities like play, circle time, meals, and storytime. Children learn naturally—just like they learned their first language.

❓ Will my child be confused learning Spanish?

No. Young children are especially good at learning more than one language. Research shows that learning a second language supports brain development, focus, and memory.

❓ Does my child need to know Spanish already?

Not at all. No Spanish experience is needed. Most children start by listening and understanding. Speaking comes later, when they feel ready.

❓ Will teachers speak English at all?

Teachers speak mostly Spanish during the day. They use pictures, gestures, repetition, and routines to help children understand—so children are never lost or frustrated.

❓ Will my child be forced to speak Spanish?

Never. Children are not pressured to speak Spanish. They may respond by pointing, nodding, using English, or mixing words at first. This is normal and encouraged.

Learning happens through:

• play
