Preschool: A Strong Foundation for Lifelong Learning
At Intiwasi, we offer a 100% Spanish immersion preschool program that immerses children in language, culture, and hands-on learning from an early age. Designed for children ages 24 months to 5 years, our program provides a multicultural, nurturing environment where they develop socially, emotionally, and academically.
Our curriculum follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) framework and is inspired by Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Project-Based Learning. This approach fosters creativity, independence, and critical thinking while ensuring a deep and natural acquisition of Spanish. Through play-based exploration, interactive storytelling, music, and hands-on activities, children develop bilingual skills in a fun, engaging, and meaningful way.
