La jornada
Before the first sentence, there is a greeting, a place to sit and something to pass. Children hear Spanish from the doorway to the last goodbye — and keep hearing it while their hands are busy.
A hello at the door, shoes off, a seat at the table. The first words of the day are always somebody’s name.
Snack and lunch are the loudest Spanish lessons of the day — pouring, passing, asking for más, telling somebody what happened.
Digging, climbing, running, with the same handful of phrases following them outside until they answer back.
Books, songs and the slow quiet of rest. The day closes the way it opened: somebody saying your name.
El método
Immersion is not a subject taught for twenty minutes with a worksheet. It is the whole room, all day. Children do not translate — they work out what is happening, and then they join in.
Every routine, every instruction, every small negotiation over a toy happens in Spanish. Nothing gets translated, because the situation does the translating.
Language sticks when hands are busy. Pouring, kneading, building, wiping the table — the words arrive attached to something real.
The same songs, the same phrases, the same table rituals, every day. Repetition is not boring to a three-year-old — it is how a word becomes theirs.
Our teachers speak Spanish with the children from the doorway to the last goodbye — not as a lesson, but as the ordinary way things are done here. Children copy the adults they like, and they like the adults who sit down with them.
Las clases
Same table, same language, different numbers of hours. Families choose what fits the week they actually have.
Arrival, meals, play, story, rest — and the slow, unglamorous work of getting ready for kindergarten: sitting with a group, waiting your turn, asking for what you need, and being understood by somebody who is not your parent.
Kindergarten readiness is not a separate class here. It happens while the table is being cleared.
For younger children, or for families easing into immersion. The table is the same, the words are the same — the goodbye simply comes sooner.
Las fiestas
A few times a year the families take over the room — cooking, making things with their hands, eating together and staying later than they meant to. These are the days children see the language being used by everyone, not only by their teachers.
Tú también cabes aquí.
