LANGUAGE IMMERSION

Learn More About Our Language Immersion Programs

Mandarin Immersion Program - Exclusively at our San Francisco Stonecrest Campus

415-741-1085

In addition to our child care programs, at Alpha Kids Academy, we’re proud to offer early education programs that will immerse your child in the Mandarin culture. Designed to develop each child’s cognitive, physical, social, and emotional skills, the language immersion program is available to students throughout the San Francisco, CA area who enroll at our preschool center at Stonecrest.


Our curriculum is culturally and linguistically based on children’s interests and proven child development practices. Children learn to speak Mandarin and are introduced to reading and writing traditional Chinese characters through music, poems, chants, and stories. In large/small group and individual activities, the children explore art, math, science, and literacy activities. Through meaningful and relevant content and engaging activities, children acquire Mandarin fluency and the disposition to be lifelong learners.  No previous experience with Mandarin is needed for admission to our programs.     
 

Spanish Immersion Program - Exclusively at our Menlo Park Location

415-664-8080

Spanish immersion is a bilingual education technique in which two languages are integrated in the same curriculum. Its main objective is to promote bilingual skills between both language speakers. The environment of our Spanish immersion preschool program is friendly and relaxed, providing an opportunity for children to take risks while learning a new language and encouraging them not to feel self-conscious.


By enrolling your child in a Spanish program at this age, you assist in the advancement of their linguistic competencies as well as their social, cognitive, and emotional development. The earlier children are introduced to a language, the greater the likelihood they will become truly proficient in it. Children learn Spanish while engaging in every day learning and play activities, circle time, play time, art, sensory, math and science activities. No previous experience with Spanish is needed for admission to our programs. 

Why choose a preschool program

that offers language immersion?

A Head Start

Children who learn another language before age five use the same part of the brain to acquire that second language. Kids are also uninhibited by the fear of making mistakes, which is sometimes an obstacle for older beginners.

Start Early

The earlier they learn the better. By starting a longer age they develop a deeper connection to the language as they mature.

Improved Critical Thinking Skills

Learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills. In addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask. Children proficient in other languages also show signs of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility.

Academic Achievement

Bilingual children have improved reading, writing, and math skills, and they generally score higher on standardized tests.

Common Questions and Facts

Is it hard for kids to learn two languages at the same time?


Contrary to popular belief, young children are not confused by the introduction of multiple languages at the same time.  There can be delays, but in the long term, it does not affect a child’s language abilities.


How does learning multiple languages help a child?


Children who learn a second language from an early age consistently show superior mathematical conceptualization, problem solving skills, verbal acumen and creativity.


Empowered with a second language and an appreciation for cultural diversity, our students are ready to embrace the multicultural world they will soon be running.
