Spanish Baby
(6 months-17 months)
Parent participation is a must. The class will not
succeed without your assistance and cooperation.
Every parent is responsible for his or her child.
Your interaction and encouragement not only
motivates your child to be an active participant in
the class, but also helps solidify your relationship
with your child. This is a special time of learning
and bonding, so we encourage parents to embrace
their children and join in on this journey to
language acquisition. Consistent attendance is very
important for proper exposure and progression in
language acquisition. There is no refund for
absenteeism so please make every effort to attend
each class.
SPANISH BABY (SB) – ages 6 months – 17 months
While children are not able to vocalize their
needs until the age of one, they are paying close
attention to everything you do and say. They will
study the movement of your lips, responding to you
with gentle coos, as you communicate with them. They
will watch intently your hand and facial gestures
when you speak to them or other family members. And
they will undoubtedly mimic your patterns of
communication.
The goal of Baby Spanish is to start children,
from 6 months to 17 months old, on a wonderful and
energetic journey to learning Spanish by immersing
them in the language. Because children are active
and learn best when they can participate in
activities Baby Spanish incorporates the use of
three of the five senses: hearing, sight and touch.
Children will be encouraged to see and use various
musical instruments, participate in familiar nursery
rhymes as well as other cultural tunes, and enjoy
many other visuals. This format will not only keep
them engaged but will expose them to the wonderful
world of Latin America.
SPANISH MOMMY AND ME – ages 18 months – 3 yrs old
An innovative program introducing conversational
Spanish skills to young children. The method is for
children along with their parents to learn Spanish
in a fun format with songs, movement and hands-on
activities. Children are exposed to the different
phonetic sounds of the Spanish language through
songs and conversations. As they listen to words and
sentences, language comprehension is facilitated by
the use of hand and body gestures as well as the use
of props. Classes focus on listening skills,
vocabulary development, language comprehension,
social skills and fun.
Immersion classes are 45 minutes in length and
are taught once per week. To maintain high quality
of instruction, class size is limited to 4 to 5
children and their parent. In addition, resource
materials include a 2 CD and songbook kit. These
materials are used in the classes and parents are
encouraged to reinforce their use at home.
SPANISH AND MANDARIN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Experienced native speaking instructors teach our
students in a natural way through play, games,
music, and conversation. Instruction centers on a
"whole language" approach in which teachers
introduce all four elements of language acquisition:
speaking, listening, reading and writing. Our
students learn to communicate through dialogues,
phrases, expressions, drills, etc. that they can use
with friends and family. Let them learn a second
language the fun, natural way! We have a variety of
classes to choose from for children between 3 years
old to10 years old.
SPANISH CLASSES FOR ADULTS
Welcome to Crossing borders where you can learn
to speak and write a new language! Experience the
culture and love it the same way we do!
Our Spanish classes for adults focus on students
from very basic grammar and progressing to an
advanced level. Students learn proper grammar,
reading, writing and conversing in Spanish.
