SpanishTOKids - Barlovento School Since 2000 — Languages

We enrolled our 6-year-old daughter in the SpanishTOKids program at Barlovento School in Toronto this past Saturday. The class was well-organized, with a limit of 10 students, which really allowed the instructor, Elena, to give each child personal attention. My daughter was a bit shy at first, but by the end, she was singing along and participating in the games. One highlight was when they worked on a creative project to build a simple story using the vocabulary they learned; she was proud to share her creation with us at pickup. The only downside was the long line when we arrived, which made us a bit anxious about being late. Overall, we had a positive experience, and I think she’s more excited about learning Spanish now than she was before.

I enrolled my 6-year-old daughter in the SpanishTOKids program at Barlovento School in Toronto this past Saturday. Overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Maria, was engaging and kept the kids' attention with fun songs and interactive games. My daughter really loved the group activity where they built a simple Spanish-speaking puppet and used it to tell a story. It was a great way to introduce language in a playful manner. One small annoyance was the long lines for pickup, which made it a bit chaotic at the end of the session. Coordinating with other parents while trying to find my daughter was a bit stressful. However, the small class size really allowed for personalized attention, and it was nice to see her make a new friend in the class. I would recommend this program to other parents looking to introduce their kids to Spanish in an engaging way, but I do suggest arriving a bit earlier for pickup.
