Spanish Bilingual Preschool Alternative Program for Toddlers

2 ½ – 3 ½ yrs

Our signature Bilingual Preschool Alternative Program offers a full 2 hours of language immersion for your toddler.  Class sizes are small, allowing toddlers to develop good social skills in a safe and warm environment.

Each section of the class serves a definite purpose. Music promotes physical development and self-confidence through dance and creative movement. It also helps develop the child’s musical ear and sense of inner rhythm. Children learn about feelings through song tales, poems, stories, and dramatic play. Spatial acuity is developed through drawing, sculpting, building and other projects. Hand coordination is also developed with simple projects such as beading and threading. Memory skills, an essential tool for learning a language and for future academic success, are enforced through visual aids such as video, fun memory games, learning songs and the use of flash cards.

A child’s peak learning period for language acquisition is between birth to 5 years. Now is the window of opportunity in your child’s developmental stage to optimize their ability to acquire the necessary listening skills required to master a second language in the future.

“Since Lana and Archie have been in music class at MKI from 6 months old, they have learned how to make music out of any object on hand…Yesterday Archie and Lana dragged their Diaper Genie into the living room and were both tapping on it with their palms and fingers! Because of the hollow inside they were very pleased with their results. ‘Mom!’ they exclaimed, ‘It’s a drum!!!!!’ Tonight at dinner I asked them : ‘How was school today?’ Lana looked at me and sang ‘Da da da da da!’”
