  • What is Language Immersion?
    ​Preschool language immersion programs surround children with a second language for most of the day. Teachers use it for instruction, play, and communication, mimicking how kids learn their first language. This approach is ideal for young learners as it fosters fluency and cognitive development.
  • Does my child need to speak Spanish to enroll?
    No! Our program is designed for children of all Spanish backgrounds, with a primary focus on developing Spanish as a second language for non Spanish speaking families as well as heritage Spanish speaking families.
  • Is it confusing for children to learn two languages at once?
    Not at all! Young children have a natural ability to acquire languages. They'll pick up Spanish through everyday play and activities. Young minds are learning sponges, perfect for soaking up two languages. Just like they learn to walk and talk, kids can handle both languages naturally. Plus, research shows bilingualism can even boost memory, problem-solving, and focus!
  • Does Sonrisas accept payments from Washington State Subsidy?
    At Sonrisas Spanish Immersion Preschool, we currently don't participate in state subsidy programs for preschool. To ensure our full-time immersion experience and maximize language learning, we focus on a smaller class size and specialized curriculum. This allows for deeper teacher interaction and a program tailored specifically for Spanish immersion.
  • What ages of children can attend Sonrisas?
    Sonrisas Spanish Immersion Preschool caters to preschool-aged children! Preschool programs are usually for children between 3 and 5 years old. If you child is younger than three they may attend as long as they are potty trained. If you have any questions about your child's eligibility, feel free to contact Sonrisas directly!
  • Does my child need to be potty-trained?
    Yes. All students need to be potty-trained and no longer using diapers to attend Sonrisas.
  • How much does it cost to attend Sonrisas?
    Please refer to the "Prospective Student Information" page for the most up to date pricing.
  • Can my child attend only a few days per week?
    Sonrisas Spanish Immersion Preschool believes the best way for children to learn Spanish and avoid falling behind is through daily practice. That's why we focus on full-time immersion, where kids are surrounded by Spanish all week long. This consistent exposure helps them grasp the language quickly and become fluent by the end of the school year!
