Why Spanish Immersion?

Immersing children into a second language during their most vulnerable time for developing speech will not only make them bi-lingual, it will also develop their minds far beyond those receiving a traditional English-only education. Studies have shown that those who are exposed to a dual-language environment at a young age go on to be proficient in other academic fields as well, providing them with a world of opportunities.

Location

The Schoolhouse is located in Crystal, Minnesota in a warm, friendly, suburban home devoted entirely to the teaching and caring of your children. The Schoolhouse is for children 3 years and older, including School-Age children who participate in the Before & After School Program. School-Agers who participate catch the bus in the morning and get dropped off in the afternoon.
