We have had a wonderful experience with Spanish Workshop for Children. They provide engaging Spanish instruction in our building once a week for our preschool and kindergarten students. The lessons are thoughtfully designed to introduce young children to a new language through interactive lessons. Our teacher, Marvellis, is fabulous! Our students look forward to Spanish each week. We are so grateful for this partnership and highly recommend Spanish Workshop for Children to any early childhood program looking to enrich their curriculum.

My daughter is bilingual because of Spanish Workshop for Children. As a feisty, independent second child, Quinn tried to escape preschool every single day — until she met Sra. Neu. Not only did Quinn stop trying to escape, she learned an entirely new language in the process!
Neither my husband nor I speak Spanish, so we weren’t able to support language learning and development at home. Sra. Neu made Spanish come alive for Quinn completely within the school environment, through patience, warmth, and genuine connection. Watching Quinn grow confident, engaged, and proud of herself has been incredible.
Spanish Workshop for Children didn’t just teach my child a second language — it gave her a teacher who truly saw her and helped her thrive. I’m so grateful for the impact this program has had on our family.
Last year, Quinn was enrolled to start full-time pre-K. However, I was hesitant to remove her from Spanish Workshop, fearing she would lose the language she had worked so hard to build. Marcela, owner and program director, expanded the preschool to an optional full-day program, allowing Quinn to stay for an extra year. That flexibility and commitment meant everything to our family.
Although Quinn is now in full-time kindergarten, she continues to see Sra. Neu every Saturday to maintain her language skills. I highly recommend Spanish Workshop for Children to any family looking for a program that truly supports and nurtures children.

I believe Spanish Workshop for Children offers a beautiful opportunity for children to be exposed to the Spanish language. The teachers communicate fully in Spanish during lessons and their approach allows for kids to learn the language in a fun and engaging way! I’m glad that this organization is allowing my child to become bilingual.

My daughter has been attending the Spanish Workshop for Children since age 2 and she’s 6 now. They fill the void where most local preschools and elementary schools do not offer a foreign language. I feel confident that my daughter can travel in the future and not rely on a translator or have to search for an English speaking local who can communicate with her.

“As native Spanish speakers, we wanted our U.S.-born children to practice their second language with peers. Spanish Workshop for Children had been on my radar for years, but the closest location didn’t fit our schedule. When they began offering online classes during the pandemic, it was the perfect opportunity. Thanks to Marcela and the entire Spanish Workshop team, our kids have thrived. They’ve attended their immersion summer camp in Spain, taken an internationally accredited Spanish test, and are now preparing for their AP Spanish exam. Spanish Workshop for Children’s guidance, support, and dedication have made all of this possible and invaluable in our lives.”

We discovered Spanish Workshop Preschool years ago and finally enrolled our third child—and we only wish we had started sooner with our older two. Even attending just one morning a week, the immersive classroom environment, her wonderful teacher, and the small class size have helped her gain confidence, vocabulary, comprehension, and a genuine excitement for Spanish. We have Spanish speakers in our family and visited them last year, and it was amazing to see how differently she listened, engaged, and confidently tried out her new words. We plan to continue with after-school classes once she starts kindergarten and highly recommend Spanish Workshop for Children.

“It is a vibrant world of Spanish with Spanish Workshop for Children! Teachers used puppets, songs and dance to teach, making learning so active and engaging that kids absorbed words without even realizing they were studying. The focus is on participation and enjoyment, not perfection, building confidence as kids share new words and songs. We just witnessed a last day performance of Maestra Sasha and her PreK Students: we saw amazing progress in the classroom, students learn to communicate, act out the story of the 3 little pigs!!!
The smaller class sizes meant more individual attention combined with enthusiastic and caring teachers to create a truly warm environment for kids and parents.
Very happy with Marcela and her team of teachers at Spanish Workshop for Children. They deserve the best because they give their best.”

My daughter Harmony started taking Spanish classes at 16-months with Spanish Workshop. She is 3 now. I am very grateful for this organization. I love her teacher Ms.Marvelis! I knew from the beginning that I wanted my daughter to be bilingual. As someone who is monolingual, having resources like Spanish Workshop is super helpful. Consistency and trusting the process is key! Spanish Workshop will forever be family. We have done plenty of activities but language learning is worth the investment!”
