Taught by a degree kindergarten teacher, the YPW Spanish Immersion School Program focuses on the academic, social, and developmental skills necessary to succeed in elementary school.
Our curriculum was thoughtfully designed to reach solid learning objectives, with the expectation that each child will be challenged at a comfortable, but steady pace and on their own level.
Among our many advantages
In our Private Kindergarten with controlled enrollment, we are able to frequently journey outside of the classroom to support and extend areas of study.
We feel it is important for children to have a sense of the community and the ability, even at a young age, to offer support to those around them. Each month, your students will participate in an activity that focuses on the importance of helping others.
