Imagina Menlo

We learn in Spanish!!! Research shows that early childhood offers a unique opportunity to learn languages, as well as providing a critical basis for all future development and learning. Furthermore, immersion in a second language supports children to excel in linguistic, academic, social and cognitive development. By exposing your child to Spanish at an early age, you stimulate brain activity which can open doors of opportunity later in life. We believe that children are robust learners who actively construct theories about their world and test their hypotheses through play and social interactions. Teachers provide materials and encouragement that help children to develop a deep and connected understanding of the world. Paint, clay, water, sand and blocks are a part of everyday at Imagina Menlo, as pre-academic skills are smoothly integrated into the children's play. Of special importance, a Mediterranean style, Spanish lunch and snacks (made with organic ingredients whenever possible) are a cornerstone of the Imagina Menlo experience. We especially value coming together to share our meals, and we see this time as a special opportunity to enjoy and experience the social skills and friendships that naturally develop in this context. At Imagina Menlo, children play and learn in Spanish. The Spanish language is fully integrated in the curriculum with songs, story telling, games, Spanish lunch cooked on site and projects. Teachers will only use English when a child that is not fluent in Spanish is distressed or in case of emergency. Children do not need to know Spanish to enroll at Imagina Menlo, but parents are encouraged to expose them to the Spanish language at home through songs and books. If there is a Spanish speaking parent in the household, we strongly encourage you to only use Spanish with your child, even if your child responds to you in English. This is called receptive bilingualism (when the child understands but does not speak) and it is the first step to full bilingualism.
