Bilingual education provides children with more than an extra tool for their social, cultural, and professional life in the future. Bilingualism contributes to their cognitive and emotional development, through strengthening executive functions. During the First Plane of Development (from birth to six), children have the potential to acquire as many languages as available in their environment! Not only will the child absorb the language naturally during this period but the knowledge acquired will become a solid and permanent base for future learning.

​

In our Montessori work cycles, an English-speaking teacher and a Spanish-speaking teacher are always present with the children. The children learn the second language naturally supported by the concrete, hands-on materials in the Montessori environment. When starting in our program, some children come already speaking the two languages, some speak one, and some don't speak any! Being exposed to both languages on daily basis in our strong bilingual program helps each child absorb both languages as much as possible and at their own pace. Most children are able to translate seamlessly between the two languages at some point along the way of our 3-year program.
