Our Daily Schedule
A typical day in the vibrant life of a preschooler can vary greatly depending on their specific age group and developmental stage. Although experiences are inherently differentiated to meet each child's unique needs, all our little learners follow a joyful and engaging routine academic schedule Every guided and independent experience is thoughtfully designed with one exciting goal in mind—fostering true communication in Spanish. Whether the student has enrolled for the school day from 9 AM to 3 PM or for the extended day from 7 AM to 5:30 PM, every part of their carefully crafted schedule is designed to develop their language skills in the most natural and playful way possible, ensuring they thrive in their bilingual journey.
1: Early Care
Some of our dedicated language leaders arrive bright and early at the center and enthusiastically engage in a variety of fun activities such as drawing, coloring, and building starting at 7:00 AM. This vibrant and interactive atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a day filled with learning and discovery!
2: Morning Circle
All classes start with a fun morning Circle, a key part of the TPRS method—Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling. Developed by California teacher Blaine Ray, this holistic approach lets children absorb language naturally, making for an exciting and engaging learning experience!
3: Thematic Lesson
Our lessons are meticulously integrated to incorporate a wide range of engaging subjects within each fun-filled activity. They are carefully designed to keep our young students actively engaged and to provide them with comprehensible vocabulary in a natural context. To keep the learning experience fresh and exciting, our themes change monthly, as indicated in our thoughtfully crafted thematic curriculum.
4: Song/Dance
Our enthusiastic language leaders indulge in their favorite songs and lively dances. This is a special time when they get enriching exposure to the authentic music of the target culture. Some children love to show off their cool moves, dancing with joy and energy, while others enjoy singing along and absorbing the rhythm and melody surrounding them.
5: Exploration Areas
Language leaders engage in their activity of choice. The classroom hosts a variety of opportunities for individual and group activities that integrate literacy, math and science. Some students like to play pretend, some play dress up, others play with puzzles, play doh and trucks.

Depending on the weather students will take a pleasant walk around the campus or an adventurous trip to the playground. Both of these activities are delightful experiences for our language leaders!
7: Lunch
Our wonderful language leaders thoughtfully pack healthy lunches that feature plenty of delicious and nutritious foods, all freshly prepared with love right from their own homes. We strongly encourage limiting sugary juices and sweet treats while ensuring that each meal contains a good source of protein to fuel our little learners’ busy days. Eating a variety of wholesome foods helps promote healthy growth and encourages a love for nutrition that lasts a lifetime!
8: After Care
Students in our fun and engaging after-school care, stay with us from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM each day.

In addition, they can partake in a variety of activities such as music, creative drawing, building, and coloring projects. These delightful activities are facilitated in the target language, creating an immersive and enjoyable environment that fosters learning Spanish through play.
