About the Program: 
YPW Spanish Immersion School is a Spanish Immersion day care and school for infants to Kindergarten and after school children. Our core curriculum is designed to spark and maintain children’s interest in Spanish by engaging them in intelligent, creative and enjoyable activities such as math, science and technology, dancing, singing, cooking, art projects, games and many more. We believe that total immersion is the best way for your young people to develop a long-lasting foundation in the Spanish language. In a total immersion program, children spent part of the day learning a second language, and all of their subjects are taught in that language. In most cases, learning a second language through immersion enhances a child’s ability in other subjects as well. Children will actually have a better grasp of their own language by learning the structure of another language. It has been shown that children who are learning a foreign language score higher on standardized tests in English. The child “educaring” philosophy at YPW Spanish Immersion School supports a “whole-child” concept of development by meeting his/her emotional, social, intellectual, physical and emerging cultural needs. Our child development program is based on the assumption that a child’s growth is a sequential process and that children pass through predictable stages of development in all areas and within age ranges. A fundamental belief at YPW is that the children have the right to be cared for in a safe, healthy, nurturing, fun, and respectful environment by adults who are well trained in child development principles and that the children learn best through play and playful interactions within this kind of environment. Since a positive parent-teacher partnership is ideal for a successful and harmonious child-rearing/child-caring experience, we strive to promote and demonstrate respectful interactions in the teacher-parent, teacher-child, child-child, and teacher-teacher relationships. This helps to establish an atmosphere of acceptance and well-being for all who participate in the YPW Spanish Immersion School program. A team teaching approach is practiced in each age group’s educare room. Together the professional staff plans overall program goals and objectives and curriculum units intended to meet the children’s individual development needs, as well as the needs of the group.
