Our Spanish lessons are provided by sponge. Classes are taught completely in Spanish by native-speaking teachers. The children engage in developmentally appropriate games and activities and learn through music, movement, drama, and art.
Our preschool class participates in a swim program during the school year (September through May). The class travels off sight to Meadowbrook Pool, adjacent to the Meadowbrook Community Center.
