WHY DUAL IMMERSION?

 

• Dual immersion teaches a second language the same way children learned their first language, naturally. Preschool age children are in the prime language learning years of their lives. Brain research shows the majority of language learning happens from birth to age five. By providing an engaging, safe environment, children at Listos absorb two languages.

 

• Children who are either native Spanish speakers or native English speakers have their primary language supported and reinforced while learning a second language.

 

• Classroom makeup is based on a balanced ratio of students’ primary languages. This allows children to form friendships and practice language with each other.

 

• Early language learning has positive effects on brain structure, builds a desire to learn well past preschool age, fulfills and increases curiosity about the world and builds confidence in language abilities.

 

• Knowing more than one language sets children on a path to greater success in a global society.
