Why Choose a Spanish Immersion Program
Research shows that children exposed to another language early benefit greatly both socially and intellectually. At Crayolitas Childcare Center, we focus on a Spanish Immersion curriculum, meaning our teachers and staff speak and teach in Spanish the majority of the time. Here are a few reasons why our Spanish Immersion program can benefit your children:
Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills
Learning a new language requires children to think creatively and approach problems from different angles. This cognitive flexibility enhances their problem-solving skills, making them more adept at handling various challenges. By navigating the complexities of a second language, children develop strong analytical and critical thinking abilities that benefit them in all areas of life.
Fosters higher empathy & cultural awareness
Exposure to different languages and cultures fosters empathy and understanding in children. By learning Spanish, children gain insight into Hispanic cultures and traditions, helping them appreciate diversity. This cultural awareness and sensitivity lead to higher levels of empathy, making children more compassionate and inclusive individuals.
Improves Academic Performance
Research shows language immersion can help a child improve working memory. Children with a bilingual education are more likely to grasp concepts such as logic quickly, which supports their academic performance and future career chances. Language immersion can also improve reading comprehension.
