Spanish Classes for Preschoolers in Westchester

9/27/16 - By Lisa Johnston

Given a child’s spongy mind, it’s no surprise to learn that kids who learn a second language at a young age may benefit from increased cognitive advantages. While some families may not wish to enroll in a full-on immersion or bilingual preschool, classes that teach Spanish may be more fitting for your child.

We’ve gathered up several places in Westchester where your preschooler can learn Spanish. While the choices are varied, the one thing they all have in common is an emphasis on fun.

The Language Parlor – New Rochelle
455 Main Street

Although the K-1 class at The Language Parlor isn’t strictly for kindergartners, we’ve included it on the list because we like its focus on fun and its low ratio (just 7:1).  Children ages 4-6 will learn Spanish through games, singing, crafts and stories, with each class centered around a specific theme.
