FAQS
1. Curriculum & Immersion Model
What does “Spanish immersion” mean in a preschool setting?
Children learn through a rich Spanish environment—stories,
play, songs—with no translation, mirroring how they first
learned English.
What immersion model do you follow?
The full immersion model guarantees that our teachers
communicate 100% in the Spanish language exclusively
throughout the entire day.
How will my child understand what’s happening in class?
Teachers use gestures, repetition, visuals, and routines to
convey meaning.
2. Language Development & English
Will immersion delay my child’s English skills?
No—studies show bilingual development enhances cognitive
flexibility and transfers to strong English skills by elementary
school.
What if we don’t speak Spanish at home?
That’s perfectly fine. Many of our immersion students come
from monolingual English homes.
Will my child get confused by learning two languages?
Not at all—mixing languages (code-switching) is typical and
actually supports cognitive development.
3. Qualifications & Class Details
Are teachers native Spanish speakers?
Absolutely. We are proud to hire educators that are native
Spanish speakers. Many hold degrees in education and related
fields from accredited universities in Latin America.
What’s the student-to-teacher ratio?
Toddler Classroom: 1 teacher to 4 students; Preschool
classroom: 1 teacher to 6 students; PreK Classroom: 1 teacher
to 8 students.
4. Daily Life & Structure
Do children play outside?
Yes—play is essential for development and integrated into the
curriculum daily.
What do a typical day and activities look like?
A day in the life of our student includes circle time songs and
focus lessons, storytelling, movement, arts, and recreation —
all in Spanish.
Do you provide snacks or meals?
No. All students bring in a packed lunch from home. Our
classrooms are equipped with refrigerators and microwaves to
ensure foods are kept fresh and can be heated for
consumption as needed.
5. Enrollment & Logistics
How do I enroll and when can my child start?
Enrollment is open throughout the entire year, and vacancies
are filled as they become available. The first step in our
enrollment process is to schedule a tour of our school. Once
families have completed the tour, they are invited to fill out
the formal enrollment application. Applications are typically
processed within 48 hours.
Are part-time or full-day programs available?
Yes. We offer a range of options for students to enroll. You can
enroll for a minimum of 1 day a week, and up to 5 days
a week (Monday through Friday). The “School Day” option is
from 9:00 am-3:00 pm. The “Extended Day” option includes
before and after care, allowing parents the flexibility to drop
off their child as early as 7:00 am and pick up by 5:30 pm.
What is the tuition fee and are subsidies available?
Our tuition rates can be viewed here: SILC Tuition Rates.png
Families who qualify and have been awarded State Subsidy
may use their subsidy towards tuition costs. Subsidy awards
typically cover 50% of the total cost of tuition.
6. Transition & Readiness
Will my child be kindergarten-ready?
Immersion graduates often perform at or above grade level,
with adaptability to both monolingual and dual-language
elementary settings.
How can I help support learning at home?
Parents can reinforce learning through things like music
playlists, conversation about school, reading Spanish picture
books, or letting the child “teach” parents words they learned
in school.
7. Communication and Parent Involvement
How does the school communicate with parents?
In-person updates and brief conversations during drop off and pick
up are a daily part of our routine. Additionally, use a mobile App
called Brightwheel for daily (non-urgent) messages.
Will I get reports about my child?
Yes. Though Brightwheel parents are able to see when the child
was checked in/out of school, how long they napped, their diaper
changes, and reports of any minor incidents. At the end of each
month, pictures are uploaded to the child’s profile for parents to
see their child in action at school.
Are the special activities I will be invited to?
Some of the celebrations parents are invited to participate at
school include Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Trick or Treating,
Day of the Dead Celebration, and Spirit Week.
