Colibri (3 - 4 years)

In this important formative age group as part of Zoom’s half-day Playschool program, children are introduced to concepts that will not only further their journey towards bilingualism, but also prepare them more broadly for the world ahead. 

Full immersion classes follow a familiar routine in which children feel comfortable learning and beginning to express themselves in the Spanish language, while expanding on our many play-based activities for this age group, introducing new songs, games, and concepts that will help children to prepare for Kindergarten.

Following our immersion method of language learning, many of our Playschool graduates have gone on to enter bilingual elementary schools such as John Stanford and McDonald International using the language skills they developed with us here at Zoom. This program introduces children to the concepts they need in order to excel in our Pre-K program and achieve an outstanding level of Spanish Language!

The core components of the Playschool curriculum for children in our class are:

• Creative arts (art, music and dramatic play)
• Pre-math skill building (sort, count, discriminate, recognize by concept)
• Pre-literacy skill-building (story time, imaginative play, pre-writing and pre-reading activities)
• Workbook Activity (pre-writing, pre-math & cognitive games)

Prerequisite: As a benefit for new students, we ask that students complete at least one quarter of regular Zoom instruction (Classes or Summer Camp) before starting Playschool. This will help leveling them for this new experience.

Please Note: We provide a healthy and vegetarian snack once a day, which includes seasonal fruit, grain products and milk products.
