Fremont Christian School believes in nurturing the curiosity and expanding the minds of our youngest learners. In line with this mission, we are pleased to announce the addition of Mandarin and Spanish to our afternoon preschool curriculum. This initiative will be seamlessly integrated into our afterschool program, ensuring your child receives a holistic and enriching educational experience.

Program Details

Our new language program is designed to immerse children in a bilingual learning environment, fostering their natural curiosity and love for learning. Each week, children will engage in two hours of language instruction led by four of our native-language teachers. These dedicated educators bring a wealth of cultural and linguistic knowledge to the classroom, creating an authentic and engaging learning experience.

The program includes:

• Chinese/Spanish storytime. Stories come alive as children listen to captivating tales in Mandarin and Spanish, enhancing their listening and comprehension skills.
• Music and movement. Children sing songs and participate in movement activities, helping them to naturally acquire the rhythm and intonation of the new languages.
• Writing. Early writing activities introduce children to the basics of Chinese characters and Spanish letters, laying the foundation for literacy.
• STEAM activities. Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) concepts, these activities provide a hands-on, interactive way to learn and apply language skills.

Offered at no additional cost to our families, the language program follows the school calendar year, with a one-month break during the summer.

FCS is committed to providing high-quality, accessible education that prepares our students for a globalized world. We also understand the importance of early language acquisition and the cognitive benefits it brings. Our goal is to create a vibrant, bilingual learning environment where your child can thrive. By immersing students in Mandarin and Spanish, we aim to broaden their cultural horizons, enhance their cognitive abilities, and foster a lifelong love for languages.
