Because a Spanish-infused program allows for flexibility, children receive the benefits of exposure to various language learning experiences throughout the day. By integrating Spanish as a daily experience in addition to daily classes, it becomes an integral part of a child’s social and cognitive development.
Además is Marin Preparatory School’s before and after school enrichment program. The name Además means “in addition to”; for us it means giving our students an opportunity to immerse themselves further. During Además the teachers will be communicating with the children primarily in Spanish.
In the morning (7:30-8:15), the students will enjoy story time and bilingual books, followed by morning stretch, games and outdoor play. In the afternoon (3:30-6), children can continue to practice their Spanish in a creative, inspiring environment through games, cooking, music and art. To finish, the children enjoy one final story, El Último Cuento, at the end of the day.
