¡HolaKids! Spanish Immersion Preschools
¡HolaKids! offers Spanish immersion preschool programs in six locations throughout the Bay Area. Our dedicated teachers provide early childhood education in a robust Spanish immersion environment while sharing rich cultural values that spans the wide range of Spanish-speaking countries. Along the way, we provide our students with an outstanding, supportive learning environment for preschool academics and social emotional growth. We invite you to join us in this happy, multi-cultural journey. 

Program Emphasis

Small Neighborhood Campuses

Classrooms are designed to resemble family-like settings which complement our warm and nurturing teaching environment. Our campuses are located within close proximity to parks, libraries, post-offices, fire stations, and grocery stores which we incorporate into our curriculum. This enhances the childrens' relationship with the local community.

Immersion

Evidence shows the most effective and engaging way to teach children a new language is to provide them with acoustic, tactile, emotional, and experiential input. ¡HolaKids! is a total immersion program, where children experience a language in a meaningful, real- life context. Learn More

​Multiage Classrooms

Multiage classrooms build community and develop a system of support and learning for classmates of all ages. In this mutually beneficial environment, older children serve as mentors and take leadership roles, while younger children have the opportunity to learn problem-solving techniques and other strategies from older classmates.

Cultural Education

The children study a specific Spanish speaking country each semester. Some of the topics include: clothing, food, music, shelter, celebrations, geographic features, wildlife and family dynamics. The exposure to a single culture for an extended period of time enables the children to absorb more information and be more sensitive as they approach other cultures.
