Through our Spanish immersion approach, children are naturally introduced to a second language through conversation, play, music, stories, classroom activities, and everyday interactions. By hearing and using Spanish throughout the day, children develop language skills in the same way they learn their first language, through meaningful experiences and consistent exposure.
From infancy through Pre-K, our immersive environment helps children build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and develop a broader understanding of the world around them.

What is your favorite animal?
Language comes alive when children use Spanish in meaningful, real-world contexts. This month, children are learning vocabulary related to zoo animals and dinosaurs, including:
Through songs, stories, dramatic play, classroom conversations, and hands-on activities, children naturally practice Spanish while exploring topics they love.
Research continues to show that learning a second language at an early age can support cognitive development, communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and cultural awareness.
Young children are uniquely equipped to absorb language naturally. Through consistent exposure and engaging interactions, they develop listening, comprehension, and conversational skills while building confidence in their ability to communicate.
At Edina Daycare, Spanish immersion is woven into each child’s daily experience, creating opportunities to learn language naturally while exploring, playing, and growing.
Our educators incorporate Spanish throughout the day in ways that feel engaging, natural, and age-appropriate.
Children are exposed to Spanish through:
Rather than memorizing vocabulary lists, children learn language through real-world experiences that help them connect words with meaning.
From an infant’s first words to a preschooler’s growing conversations, our Spanish immersion program evolves alongside each child’s development. Rather than teaching Spanish through formal lessons, we naturally weave the language into everyday routines, play, songs, stories, and meaningful interactions. As children grow, they build vocabulary, confidence, and communication skills in a fun, engaging environment where learning a second language feels natural.
Explore how Spanish immersion is thoughtfully incorporated into each stage of your child’s early learning journey.
Even the youngest learners benefit from exposure to multiple languages. Through songs, soothing conversations, stories, and daily interactions, infants begin developing listening and language recognition skills in a nurturing environment.
Toddlers naturally absorb language through repetition, play, and exploration. Our immersive environment encourages children to build vocabulary, follow directions, and communicate with growing confidence.
As children grow, they become increasingly comfortable using Spanish throughout their daily activities. Through conversations, collaborative learning, storytelling, and classroom experiences, they continue building language skills while preparing for future academic success.
Spanish immersion supports much more than language development. Children also develop:
These skills help prepare children for success both in school and beyond.
Language and culture go hand in hand. Throughout the year, children explore countries, traditions, music, celebrations, and experiences that help them develop a deeper appreciation for the diverse world around them. These meaningful cultural connections enrich the learning experience while fostering curiosity, empathy, and respect for others.
Our goal is to help children become confident learners who are comfortable communicating, connecting, and engaging with people from different backgrounds and perspectives.
