In-Person: 701 Carroll Street
Meet our Spanish teachers in their classroom and learn how children acquire a new language through an evidence-based approach grounded in comprehensible input. The strength of BC's early language program comes from how it leverages children's natural language-learning abilities to build a strong foundation for fluency. You'll see how methods such as Total Physical Response (TPR)-teaching and learning language, vocabulary, and concepts through physical movement-support listening and speaking as the first steps toward communicative proficiency, and how cultural exploration is woven into every lesson. Parents will also take part in a short classroom demo activity to experience firsthand what language learning feels like for children.
