Gigno's Bilingual Enrichment at Loga Springs Academy
Ages 2-4 years old
$15 for one class or $10 each for 2 or more classes
Four classes in Kindergarten Prep, Art, Science and Music are offered each time. Your child can attend one class, or stay for a fun half-day of learning, Spanish and new friends! Our Bilingual Enrichment Classes offer a unique alternative to traditional language instruction for preschoolers. At Gigno, we believe that the best way to learn a new language is to experience it in as many different contexts as possible. Therefore, the goal of our classes is to expose children to the Spanish language while teaching basic preschool skills, as well as higher order thinking skills that are often left out of preschool curricula. Children will hear both languages throughout every class and will be encouraged to learn new words, phrases and songs in Spanish.Whether your child is already bilingual and wants to socialize and learn with other bilingual kids, or your child would like to learn Spanish while playing, doing a "science experiment" or learning about the alphabet, numbers and music of different cultures, these classes will help them do so in an open and stimulating setting.
Loga Springs Academy: 931 NE 16th Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32605
