What our clients are saying…

The friendships Ames has with his Sombrero Time classmates have been so valuable. He has been encouraged and supported every step of the way with compassionate, highly trained instructors who gently guide him toward an acceptance of other cultures with the goal of building a global citizen.

The magic of Sombrero Time is that the children not only learn Spanish—they learn how to apply their language skills in a real-world setting.

Sombrero Time is an excellent full immersion Spanish language program for kids grades K-6. My daughter has been attending for 6 years and I’m amazed at the Spanish she can speak, write and understand.

As PTC President for the past two years and current board member, I have received consistent positive feedback from parents and faculty regarding Sombrero Time and the value this program brings to the kids.

Thank you, Sombrero Time, for immersion style learning. And thank you for providing such high quality teachers.

My son has been attending Sombrero Time since September 2011 as part of Kinder Spanish program. It is the perfect environment to learn Spanish in an age appropriate way.

We love Sombrero Time! I can’t believe how well my Son and daughter are doing in Kinder Spanish. So glad I found the program! I highly recommend!

2020-21 Group Spanish Class Schedule

Mommy & Me Spanish is the perfect opportunity to expose your toddler (2-4.5 years old) to a second language at the height of the “language learning window.” Parents get into action with their child and engage learning Spanish as well! It’s truly a family experience! Our native-speaking teachers will lead you in a special language learning experience using visual, auditory and tactile Spanish learning activities together with the Sombrero Time immersive teaching method (teaching Spanish in Spanish, without translation).

How does it work? We will send you an email every week consisting of the theme and target vocabulary we will go over that week. You will have a list of items to have with you for your toddler during the online class (For example, a slide of bread, a spoon, and a pillow). These items will be used by the teacher as well as the rest of the parents and toddlers taking the class. While having fun together your child will learn to greet, name and recognize colors, shapes, animals, numbers, body parts, and so much more by singing, dancing, and playing in Spanish. Our class is highly interactive and fun. Mommy & Me is a great warm-up for our Kinder and Beginner Spanish classes offered.

Learn More About Our Teachers

We Care About Your Child Almost As Much As You Do!

More Than Just A Language Program

As we immerse children in the Spanish language, we also immerse them in learning about new cultures and different walks of life–developing global citizens is just as important to us as teaching Spanish. Through Spanish, we teach children new perspectives and ways to connect with each other and fellow humans. Learning multiple languages has also been shown to foster brain growth in the prefrontal lobes, which is the part of the brain responsible for things like: problem-solving, attention, inhibition, flexibility, and long-range planning; it is also critical for social-emotional skills like empathy. By teaching our students Spanish we are developing the whole child to be a contributing member of society.
