Through social interactions and hands-on activities, children will acquire Spanish language skills naturally. In addition to this, they will be exercising their observation and problem-solving skills as they learn to apply newly acquired language skills in different situations.
We promote learning through role-play and companionship with children and teachers, which allows them to develop character and grow in how they interact with others. To give children every possible advantage as they move on to elementary school and beyond, qualified teachers teach all our classes in Spanish. And the team at CEI Preschool looks forward to preparing the next generation to be as successful as they can be.
Sandra Fleming has a Ph.D. in education. She spent 18 years working as a teacher and provided professional development for teachers in the US and her homeland, Mexico. Also, her experience as Assistant Director in Texas gave her the security of developing this immersive Spanish program, as she had experience dealing with children, families, and teachers.
Here at CEI Preschool, our mission is to immerse children in the Spanish language and culture while learning and discovering new things through fun activities.
CEI Preschool partners with parents in their child’s education, supporting them to help their children understand themselves and others. Our vision is equipping your child with personal respect and a positive attitude in life.
We strive to provide learning experiences to help children grow in social, emotional, intellectual, and physical skills. By using hands-on activities exploring different subjects while interacting in Spanish, we focus on helping children develop learning skills and tools they can use for the rest of their school careers.
CEI Preschool teachers create a safe, clean, and warm environment pleasing your child in a positive relationship between infants, parents, and teachers.
Our low ratio allows interaction with the teacher in a healthy atmosphere that helps develop skills while playing, singing, touching, and feeling the world around them. Our program is focused on language acquisition, as well as physical, social, and cognitive development. Linguists explain the importance of why babies learn one language over another by listening to the surrounding humans. For this very reason, our enrichment program in Spanish allows opening all senses in early infancy.
Toddlers are young learners who want to discover the world around them. Their curiosity drives them to get abilities to collaborate and communicate, exploring how to sing, dance, jump, and more. Therefore, CEI Preschool provides more than just daycare for toddlers; we help children grow and learn during the transition from infancy to being mobile and independent.
Our program is an introduction to routines, positive guidance, and confidence-building. Our plan is focused on language, physical, social-emotional, and cognitive development. All this while still immersed in the Spanish language.
Early preschoolers are ready for routines and positive guidance. Perseverance and overcome obstacles are some of their qualities, which are essential to children's success. Every classroom is designed to develop children verbally counting, grouping items, and demonstrating an understanding of number operations, associating numbers, understanding turn-taking, engaging in imaginative play with dramatic arts, and more.
This program is designed to improve early skills immersion in the Spanish world.
Preschoolers are ready to demonstrate executive function skills, classifying objects, suggesting solutions, and remaining focused on a task.
Our teachers encourage preschoolers to engage in all activities and follow directions by themselves. Through our lesson plans, children are allowed to learn from their teachers and interact with other children. As well, they are engaged with pre-reading and pre-writing. Our program immersion in Spanish helps them understand the difference between Spanish and their home language through various techniques that develop language, physical, social-emotional, and cognitive skills.
Young learners continue their journey by developing social-emotional intelligence. They will demonstrate executive function skills by classifying objects by color, shapes, and size, which help critical thinking.
Our program will demonstrate how immersed they are in the language when using math concepts by counting 10 to 20 or more and demonstrating executive functions skills.
CEI Preschool (Spanish Immersion School) is designed to engage and learn in a fun way through our enriched Spanish program. We believe that the balance between academics and enthusiasm for fun helps to achieve the required skills. In addition, getting routines and structure in their early years develop the capacity and ability to be self-driven.
