Spanish Preschool

About

This blended program is for three-and four-year olds. We introduce preschoolers to the Spanish language utilizing hands-on materials, games, songs, read alouds and movement activities. Each month focuses on a different theme for learning Spanish vocabulary, such as colors, numbers, animals, etc. Children must be 3 or 4 by September 1 of the current school year and completely independent in the bathroom.  All our staff are trained in CPR and first aid.

This program can be used in conjunction with Full Day Preschool Enrichment, if space is available.  A separate registration is required for that program.

Spanish Preschool runs Monday/Wednesday/Friday 9:15-11:45 AM or 12:30-3 PM

NOTE: Enrollment in this program DOES NOT guarantee enrollment in the Rockford Public Schools Spanish Immersion program at Roguewood Elementary. Enrollment placement for the district’s program is for Rockford residents and is by a lottery draw only.
