Overview

Colores Spanish Immersion Preschool is a small school and learning community where children come to be exposed to Spanish language and culture.  Colores Preschool is committed to providing a safe, nurturing and supportive environment built upon respect, trust and love.  We are a child-centered school where the teacher acts as a facilitator.  We value each child for who they are and guide them towards readiness into our multilingual global community.
We believe in creating a balance of learning and free play.  Colores Preschool strives to provide diverse learning opportunities in a rich environment.  We encourage each child's innate creativity and watch their joy and happiness unfold.  We support the children in self-directed and open-ended experiences that allow them to develop at their own rate, according to their individual style.  We are working to create a culture that values a healthy childhood, nature, community and diversity.

Spanish Immersion

At Colores Preschool children are immersed in Spanish language and culture.  Children are spoken to in Spanish the whole time they are at school and soon they start understanding the language and responding in Spanish.  There are many benefits of learning a second language and it is best to start early in life.  Please refer to the Resources tab of this website to find additional information and links to research and articles about the many benefits of second language acquisition at any age. Linking research to practice, at Colores Preschool children absorb language, culture and traditions through activities, interaction, stories, poems, music, art, crafts, holidays, community and free play.
