Dual Language PreKindergarten Program
We are excited to offer our Prekindergarten students the opportunity to be part of a Dual Language program. This PreK setting is designed to encourage children to become bilingual, speaking comfortably in both English and Spanish in everyday settings. Research indicates that children who are adequately exposed to two or more languages at an early age experience significant gains. Dual Language instructors are completely fluent in both languages.
In the morning lessons and activities will be taught in English, the afternoon’s instruction is conducted in Spanish.
Our experienced ECS staff involves parents in activities and special events. We believe this program helps prepare our four-year-old students to be a part of the global community.

Programs included in your child’s class schedule!
Music
Infants through Prekindergarten students receive instruction in rhythm, musical movement, finger play songs, and faith based songs for chapels. We have a very special musical recital that the students perform in. In December for the Christmas musical. Older students will receive instruction in note reading, rhythm, and beats.
Physical Education
In addition to playground time, students in our Preschool and PreK programs participate in weekly physical education classes.
Starting in the Toddler program through Tot-Time we integrate fundamental body movements with music and games using age appropriate equipment. Learning the body parts and different ways to move those parts helps the learning process. Playing games with a parachute, “red light, green light”, doing obstacle courses, and playing with balls and hoops are ways we make Physical Education Fun!
