The mission of Chiquitin Chiquitan is for all children to learn Spanish in a Christian-based, fun and age-appropriate immersion setting!
We offer four Spanish immersion programs:
1. Chiquillos Music and Movement
Class is taught "parent and me" style, and intended for ages 8 months to under 3 years old. Toddlers will be immersed in Spanish through song, dance, stories, finger plays, rhythm, and puppets.
2. Amiguitos
Our Amiguitos class is for children ages 24-36 months. The class is held on on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9:30-12:30. Students will be immersed in Spanish through interactive and sensory play, music and movement, art, as well as developmentally appropriate early literacy and math instruction. Students do not need any prior Spanish exposure or experience to enroll, nor do they need to be potty trained.
3. Chicos Preschool Class
Our preschool class is a comprehensive preschool program for children ages 3-5. We meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:15-12:15, with a lunch bunch option until 12:45. Each day, your child will be completely immersed in Spanish while learning early literacy and math skills through play, songs, and games. The only prerequisites to the program are that children be at least 3 years old, and fully potty trained.
4. Niños
Our Niños class is designed for children in kindergarten through third grade. The class will be taught on Mondays from 4:30-6:00pm. The Niños class has a Spanish literacy focus. Students will be immersed in Spanish through music, interactive literacy activities, and Spanish literature. The curriculum is organized thematically, as to make it accessible to all children, regardless of their Spanish background.
