Salta! Jump into Spanish - is a parent child enrichment program

Salta! Jump into Spanish - is a parent/child
enrichment program designed to enhance your
child’s love of learning a new language.

Salta! will naturally teach your child the
Spanish language while having fun in every
corner. Through music, movement and
instruments, songs and rhymes, playful games
and storytelling, children will embark on a
wonderful journey through Latin America.

While attending Salta! Classes, children won’t
even realize that they are learning Spanish
because they are too busy having fun! Our
program offers a time for children to socialize,
expand their surroundings, and increase their
coordination and motor skills during play.

For the older child:
Learning to “think” in Spanish is also an
important component of the program. Our goal
is to teach children how to decode the language
by speaking. We encourage the children to not
only hear the language but also to try to form
their own sentences and phrases.

Children will embark on a journey of Spanish
fluency through fun and imagination.

Advantages of learning a Second
Language at an early age

Children have an innate ability to acquire multiple
languages. They are curious. They are able to imitate
sounds perfectly. They are open-minded. Unlike
adolescents, they are not self-conscious about
making new sounds. They are not concerned about
appearing silly while participating actively. This
natural ability diminishes with age.

Early second language study also:

Enables greater intellectual flexibility.
Enhances problem-solving skills.
Heightens creativity.
Sharpens understanding of
native language and culture.
Leads to higher performance
in other academic areas.
Gives the learner greater access to people and
resources in a rapidly expanding global community.

Our Philosophy

Parent-child interaction is essential in the beginning stage of
language development for children ages 12 months – 5 years
old. Children look to their parents for comfort, safety, care, as
well as language development. Children at this age learn to
communicate by emulating their parents. As a result, Salta!
Jump into Spanish classes is all parent/child interaction. Our
program is designed to help you “break the ice” when
introducing a second language to children. It is also a perfect
opportunity for you to learn Spanish along with your child.
