Overview

Using our imaginations to travel the world, discovering new cultures, new friends and new adventures. Aboard Michuchutren™ and fully immersed in the Spanish language, we encourage every child to use their imaginations and curiosity to gain oral comprehension of the language. Every class includes a themed hands-on-project, storytime, a healthy dose of movement and lots of music that will expose children to a great Spanish vocabulary while they become familiar with more complex aspects of the language engaging in adventures with friends and teachers. We provide the environment for them to Love Spanish! No previous exposure to the language is required.

Additional Information

Experiential learning Our methodology is based in multi-sensory experiences that enhance young children's intelligence, reasoning skills, memory, and language skills. Learn more about our language + Culture approach.

Learning through the natural way The natural approach is based on learning a second language in the same way we learned our first. The main objective is not to learn the correct way of writing or saying something but to focus on the goal of being able to communicate.

Pasion por el Español – Passion for the Spanish Language. There is people who learn a language and there is people who "love" the language. We want our students to LOVE the Spanish language and feel proud of becoming bilingual.

Our main mission is to instill on children a real passion for being bilingual and for the Spanish Language. There is said that "One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way." – Franck Smith.

Learning a second language brings many advantages in our lifes and the best way to become fluent is by learning it in our early years. We are providing a full immersion experience so that they can learn through meaningful, real-world activities.

Multiple Intelligences: Following the theories of Psychologist Howard Gardner, we believe every child has a different way of Learning. We provide in every class a set of activities to cover different approaches such as musical, visual, linguistic, logical or social between others.

Activities insisde the curriculum are intentionally design to introduce key concepts through repetition and reinforce them by increasing the degrees of complexity for each concept.

We have included a broad array of hands-on projects through different STEAM activities to promote critical thinking, listening and concentration. We use cultural events to introduce concepts, involve students in art activities, science, experiments, cooking, puzzles, Legos and free play to approach their varied interests.

Multi-grade classroom We provide a multi-grade and multi-level classroom where children have different ages as well as different levels of Spanish knowledge. This type of structure is a natural extension of life in the "real world". Younger children learn from older children while older children reinforce basic concepts and learn social skills as interaction with other ages is fostered. Children with English background interact with Spanish only speakers, creating a perfect bilingual environment.

WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT.

We love Music Music is a multi-sensory experience that does seem to enhance young children's intelligence, reasoning skills, memory, and language skills. Participating in musical games or moving to music is a great way for preschoolers to "get their energy out." Music allows learners to acquire information naturally and presents information as parts and wholes. We've created a selected collection of songs that teaches children about daily themes, encouraging them to move, dance and sing along.
