Bilingual Cultural Immersion
Integrating Spanish language and culture into daily activities through songs, stories, and play, fostering bilingualism and an appreciation for diversity in an inclusive setting.
This theme weaves Spanish language and culture seamlessly into the preschool's daily routine, using interactive methods such as bilingual songs, storytelling sessions, role-playing games, and cultural celebrations. Educators, fluent in both English and Spanish, facilitate activities that introduce vocabulary, phrases, and traditions from Spanish-speaking countries, while respecting and incorporating elements from Australian and other diverse backgrounds. The approach is playful and immersive, ensuring children absorb the language naturally without formal drills, in line with Galileo SAP's commitment to inclusivity and equality.
