Small groups of eight. A native-speaking Montessori teacher. One hour a week where children sing, play, cook, and build with their hands — in Spanish, from the first minute.
Songs, movement, stories and practical-life work (pouring, sorting, preparing a snack). Children absorb the sounds and rhythm of Spanish the way they learned their first language: by using it.
Games, projects and conversation with a theme each week: the market, the kitchen, the map of the Spanish-speaking world. Reading and writing come in naturally as children want to label what they made.
Eight children per class, and each class runs with a minimum of six. Reservations close December 15; we confirm which classes run that day, and any family in a class below its minimum gets first choice among the others. Siblings on Saturday can be dropped off together; the second child's class begins fifteen minutes after the first ends.
Gabi is a credentialed Montessori teacher and a native Spanish speaker who has taught young children in the Princeton–Trenton area for years. She is the kind of teacher children run toward at drop-off.
Full name, credentials and photo appear here once confirmed.
Classes meet in a bright church classroom in downtown Princeton, a short walk from Nassau Street. The exact room and parking details come with your enrollment confirmation.
Classes continue monthly through June for families who want to stay; new families join as spots open. Tuition is the same each month whether it has four Saturdays or five; holiday Saturdays are on the calendar you receive at enrollment.
Tuition is billed monthly and you can stop at the end of any month. No payment is taken today. Reservations are confirmed in the order received; when a class reaches eight families we send payment details, and the spot is held for 48 hours.
