Programs
Semillas Library
Reading is essential to children’s growth and is at the heart of our curriculum. Our library is a magical space where children discover their love for books, expand their vocabulary, and let their imagination soar, shaping their identity and dreams.
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Our curriculum, entirely in Spanish and aligned with TEKS standards, promotes spiritual growth and the development of virtues. We guide children with positive discipline, manage behaviors with respect, and foster an environment where they learn to make mindful decisions, express emotions healthily, and build empathetic relationships.
Infants (6-12 Months)
Our Infant Program, led by a skilled and empathetic team, provides personalized care, offering the love and attention children would receive at home. We nurture your child’s growth through activities that stimulate brain, social, emotional, physical, and behavioral development, while supporting Spanish language acquisition.
Pre-Toddler (12-24 Months)
In our Pre-Toddler Program, children thrive in a nurturing environment that balances security and freedom. They engage in age-appropriate activities, promoting social, emotional, and cognitive development through play, hands-on projects, and interactive learning, while also acquiring Spanish language skills.
Toddler (2-3 years)
Our toddler program introduces children to the school environment while fostering positive bonds with educators and peers. In thoughtfully designed classrooms, toddlers explore music, art, early literacy, and imaginative play through age-appropriate stations. Monthly themes support learning concepts like colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and foundational writing skills, all while learning Spanish.
Preschool (3-4 Years)
Laughter and play echoing through our halls are the joyful sounds of learning in action at Semillas Preschool. We tailor age-appropriate lessons that nurture early writing, reading abilities, and mathematical understanding through hands-on activities. Children begin letter recognition by identifying their sounds and shapes and associating them with letters in print. Numerical concepts, along with other math skills, are introduced through number recognition, sorting, and one-to-one correspondence.
Children develop writing skills engagingly and effectively using the Learning Without Tears method. Our monthly thematic units integrate Spanish culture while blending academic concepts. Through this approach, children confidently express themselves in Spanish.
Pre-K (4-5 Years)
We lay a solid foundation of joy, learning, and growth for children, shaping their future in meaningful ways.
As they grow, children naturally seek independence and exploration. Our program nurtures this by encouraging curiosity and providing opportunities to engage in various subjects, fostering critical thinking skills.
Our Spanish Immersion curriculum follows TEKS academic standards. Children participate in imaginative story sessions in the library, while the Learning Without Tears method supports them in developing writing skills enjoyably and effectively. They engage in activities like sorting, patterning, sequencing, and graphing, all while exploring science experiments and social studies that ignite their curiosity.
Learning Beyond Walls
Our Spanish immersion curriculum sparks curiosity and opens new worlds through structured and play-based activities, supported by the Children’s Learning Institute (CLI) model and grounded in scientific research. We emphasize responsive care, using language as a guide that inspires children to connect with the world around them.
Nature Focus
Learning to appreciate and care for nature is essential to a child’s development. Through ‘Plant It Up,’ children spend time outdoors, growing flowers, plants, or vegetables, and connecting with nature. This instills virtues like respect, gratitude, and responsibility while fostering a deep appreciation of the natural world.
Spiritual Growth
Our faith formation and virtues programs are deeply intertwined, fostering each child’s spiritual growth. Through the language of virtues curriculum inspired by “The Virtues Project,” we recognize each child’s unique “superpower,” helping them shine, feel valued, and develop healthy self-esteem. Meanwhile, the faith formation program “Faith Moments” nurtures a sense of belonging to something greater, planting the seed of a relationship with God.
Preschool Spanish Curriculum
At Semillas Preschool, our Spanish immersion curriculum is carefully designed to provide children with a strong foundation in language and learning, while supporting their cognitive, social, and spiritual growth in a culturally rich environment. Our program is built on principles of faith and virtues, aiming to shape the children’s character by promoting values that will guide them throughout their lives.
What Makes Our Preschool Spanish Curriculum Unique?
Learning Spanish Naturally:
Children are fully immersed in Spanish through stories, music, pretend play, and everyday conversations. Our native Spanish-speaking teachers bring the language to life, creating a happy, interactive space where Spanish feels natural and fun. This helps children pick up vocabulary, pronunciation, and sentence structure almost effortlessly. They also learn through play, curiosity, and exploration, with hands-on activities like art, science, math, and music. Along the way, we nurture values and faith with love and care, helping children grow with kindness, respect, and a joyful heart.
Learning at their own pace, guided by science
Our curriculum is grounded in neuroscience, the study of how the brain develops and how it learns. Understanding the way a child’s brain grows and processes information helps us design experiences that align with their natural learning stages. This means that we provide the right activities at the right time, stimulating their skills just when their brain is most ready to absorb them, ensuring a strong academic foundation and personal growth
Cultural Exploration:
Through our thematic calendar, children explore the traditions, holidays, and everyday life of many Spanish-speaking countries. They discover different ways of living, thinking, and celebrating, which helps them see the world with open eyes and appreciate what makes each culture special. With our native Spanish-speaking teachers sharing their language and traditions every day, learning feels real, joyful, and full of meaning.
Shaping who they are:
At Semillas, we help children grow in every way, mind, body, and heart. Through simple moments of faith, we nurture a personal connection with God and teach them to be thankful each day for all they have. Our virtues program helps children learn respect, empathy, and to notice the good in themselves and others—what we like to call their “superpowers.” This way, they build a grateful heart and grow up ready to face life with faith, kindness, and confidence.
