Valley View Early Learning Center (VVELC) offers a full immersion program in Spanish. Pre-kindergarteners are immersed in language-rich classrooms where they will understand and use Spanish starting on their very first day of school. VVELC’s Spanish immersion teachers design interactive learning experiences that capture children’s interest and build conceptual understanding while strengthening each child’s intercultural communication skills.

Imagine how your child’s confidence and excitement will grow as s/he learns to:

  • Greet adults and friends using Spanish upon arriving in class
  • Sing authentic songs from the target culture during morning circle time
  • Use the immersion language to describe shapes during an exploration of geometric figures
  • Use Spanish language labels to identify objects during science exploration time and
  • Understand and use culturally appropriate meal-time language during lunch

Our prekindergarten full immersion program provides:

  • Caring teachers with native or native-like proficiency in Spanish
  • Engaging lessons in the immersion language
  • Small class sizes with individualized attention
  • A family-like setting where learners acquire Spanish naturally through interaction

The full immersion program at VVELC offers children a unique way to explore the world around them. We invite you to take the first step in giving your child an early start in developing proficiency in Spanish by signing up for a tour today.
