Digital spanish academy
My 3 year old has been taking Spanish classes with Señora Theresa at daycare for over a year and loves it. And I love it even more now that classes are available online! The days feel extra long sheltering in place, so having something that is both educational and fun for her to do is wonderful. And because the classes are online she can participate in multiple classes a week, which is awesome. She is engaged in the classes, loves the puppets, songs, and dances, and is actually learning to speak Spanish. These classes are great, and I highly recommend it to other parents of young kids!

My 5 year old son has taken Spanish class through his preschool for the last two years. He has learned so much in this time — counting, colors, conversational phrases and compliments, and a ton of seasonal and holiday vocabulary. During this current period of social distancing, he has been participating in the live online classes. I am so impressed with how Miss Theresa has taken her lessons online and allowed our family to maintain this bit of normalcy each week. It’s been fun for me, as a parent, too, learning along!

"Hi Theresa! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the Spanish class video last week. We are adjusting to our new “normal” and finally today we were able to do the first 20 minutes of the class and the kids loved it! Thank you so much! Looking forward to finishing the rest of the video tomorrow".

"This is great! Great job - Ila loved it and Knut even jumped in and participated. It was like they were watching Dora the Explorer in that you had total command of their attention and they were repeating along and clapping and all that. I think they probably think you could see them. Anyways we loved it and keep up the good work!"

"Our kids are having the best time - they were the boy and girl in the sombreros. They are loving it thank you so much for doing this!"

Our 9 years old kids startet the Virtual Spanish Lessons about three weeks ago. It is just amazing to see how much fun they have and how proud they are to learn a new language. Without knowing a single word in spanish before, they are now able to count to 30, they are singing songs and they are able to describe their clothing in simple words. We can highly recommand the O'Neil Language Academy. Thanks a lot for this inspiring experience. Such motivating and appreciative teaching is hard to find. You are doing a great job. Excellente Miss Theresa!! "This is great. Thank you!"

Teach & Learn Spanish Curriculum Reviews
By Childcare Teachers: |

My students ages 2-5 LOVE Theresa's curriculum, and the lessons are very easy for me to follow. Everything is laid out so well and the pronunciation guides are especially helpful. My students are always excited for "Spanish Day"!
Julie H. Classroom Teacher Especially for Children Childcare Center Bloomington, MN. Teach & Learn Spanish has so many tools and techniques to get children excited about Spanish every week. My favorite part about how it's designed is that it allows me as a teacher to tailor my lessons to each group (based on ages and interests) as well as choose what to teach based on what is relevant to each class. Samantha B. Classroom Teacher Especially for Children Childcare Center Eden Prairie, MN. I really appreciate when Theresa trains us and models the games that get the kids moving, like the relay race to the clothing items on the line in the Spanish In December lesson and the "Me gusto" and "No me gusto" relay race in the Spanish In November lesson. The games keep their interest and keep them engaged. As a non-Spanish speaker I find that the repetition and the chanting is really beneficial to me and to my students. Robin Classroom Teacher Especially for Children Childcare Center Twin Cities, MN. Theresa's Spanish songs are very catchy and user-friendly for teachers like me who do not know Spanish. Dan A. Classroom Teacher Especially for Children Childcare Center Twin Cities, MN. As a classroom teacher, not the actual Spanish Instructor, it is easy and fun to reinforce what is taught throughout the week or month! Jamie R. Classroom Teacher Especially for Children Childcare Center Twin Cities, MN. I like the CD supplemental songs. They help me not be so nervous and the kids love them as well! Teri L. Classroom Teacher Especially for Children Childcare Center Twin Cities, MN. |
Teach & Learn Spanish is so easy to use! My teachers have no problems integrating the curriculum even with NO Spanish background. It is designed for everyone to use. The kids love it and are learning so much! Parents are very impressed with Teach & Learn Spanish because they not only know what their children are learning but they can be involved too. What a great addition to our program!
Blair Schipper Childcare Program Director YMCA Minneapolis, MN. We love "Teach & Learn Spanish" here at River Valley YMCA ECLC!! It is going well! Karen is doing a great job! Emily Skahen Childcare Program Director YMCA Prior Lake, MN. My staff just had a Spanish training with Theresa and it was great! We are planning to start the monthly Spanish lessons with our preschool classrooms and might expand into our toddler classrooms in the future. Theresa was so willing to come teach my staff about the curriculum and she came prepared with all kinds of props and visuals. She explained, modeled, and pronounced several things from the curriculum. We got to listen to the CD and sing and repeat several songs and Spanish words and phrases. She explained why she planned the curriculum the way she did and gave several tips from her experiences for us to use in the classroom. She acted out lessons to show us how she would teach to the children which was a lot of fun and also helped us understand ways to teach our kids. I am very happy that we are implementing the Spanish curriculum and having Theresa coming out and training us was very helpful! Thanks again!! Danielle Director of Lasting Impressions Child Care Center St. Paul, MN. Thank you for mailing the Spanish books for the month of May. The teachers love them and our children are really learning a lot. I especially like the pronunciation of the Spanish words in the books. I think a lot of people pronounce words incorrectly and this helps! Thank you for this awesome curriculum and we are looking forward to receiving all the months! Mary S. Executive Director Small World Learning Center Maple Grove, MN. |

My girls LOVE learning Spanish with Teach & Learn Spanish!!! We listen to the CD in the car a lot, and they are so proud of counting to 12 :)! The activities are great, and it is so nice everything can be adapted for such a wide age range! It is also nice because I can reuse the material each year and focus on different aspects as the children grow :)! Thank you!
