Young Spanish is language learning company based in Overland Park, KS which partners with elementary and pre-schools in the Midwest to deliver an interactive Spanish language program in the classroom. Our network of educators come from diverse backgrounds yet have a common goal: make learning a second language relevant and meaningful for young kids. Our curriculum is multi-sensory and appeals to many types of learners. In fact, children who are new to learning Spanish, begin speaking Spanish words within 1-3 months (results vary). 

The Young Spanish^TM Mission

There are three important “quotients” that contribute to a child’s development: Intelligence (IQ), Emotional (EQ), and Cultural (CQ). Learning a second language contributes to a child’s CQ. Recognizing that the United States is exponentially becoming more diverse, Young Spanish^TM focuses on building a child’s cultural quotient beginning with second language learning and incorporating cultural elements into the curriculum.

The Focus on Language AND Culture

Our curriculum covers Spanish culture including a review of Spanish-speaking countries identifying important aspects of each and their differences. This is a differentiator for our program which familiarizes children with the vast number of Spanish speaking countries around the world.

The Benefits

Research suggests that children who are given second language instruction early in life (between birth and age 10) will enjoy the following benefits:

• Read sooner than monolingual children
• Become better problem solvers
• Tend to be more creative
• Score higher on standardized tests
• Develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and appreciation of diversity
