The vacation program offers an opportunity for children to begin to learn and practice Spanish in an immersive and cultural context. Children will sing, make music, play games, and crafts related to winter. They will learn about wintertime in Latin America.

This course provides an experience of learning Spanish in a supportive environment that is reinforced through original music recorded by ABC Spanish in Motion for our classes.

We aim to create a positive first (or second) impression to learning Spanish and meeting elements of Spanish cultures. We use a child's natural desire to explore and play to learn through the use of songs, rhymes, stories and games.

Parents will provide children with a peanut-free lunch.
