Spanish Immersion, Montessori Learning Center, Ridgewood NJ

Spanish Immersion Program 

Ages 3 years - 6 years

2 Day: Monday & Wednesday Afternoons

12:15 pm - 2:45 pm  

 

Our Montessori program has been designed to encourage children to speak only Spanish while exploring their classroom. Storytelling, music, creative play, vocabulary development, and social interactions will be the focus of our program. Using our immersion multi-sensory approach to stimulate every child’s natural learning style, the children will be surrounded by the sounds of the Spanish language. Our goal is to encourage young students to acquire language skills holistically.

Extended Day

Extended Day 11:30 am - 1:30pm

Tuesday & Thursday

 

Children explore fun cooking projects, arts and crafts activities and science experiments. They have fun making lava lamps, discovering how many drops of water fit on a penny, baking bread and making granola bars and other healthy snacks! Handmade seasonal placemats are made for the children to use during their lunch time. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the children to meet new friends and socialize with students from other classes.
