Spanish Immersion Education in Crystal Lake

This is too funny b/c I just spent the entire morning calling around for the same info! Call the D47 school district for more info - they don't do preschool - they start their program at the kindergarten level. I left a couple of message for several different people - so if I hear back from them, I will let you know what they say. Can I ask that you keep me posted with your info. on it too? Thank you so much! Oh - and I've heard nothing but great things about such programs - just read the research that has been done! Outstanding!

Hi H.!

My MIL works in D47 and I haven't heard of any programs like that through the district. I know they don't offer preschool programs. Another place to check is with the park district. They have preschool programs and even if they don't have an Spanish immersion program like that, they usually can point you in the right direction since they have the experience with preschool that D47 does not.

Hi H.,

I do not know of such a program here. My neice in Alaska is in a program like this and I too would love for my kids to have this.
If you find something, could you please let me know. Currently, my preschool children are enrolled in a Spanish class with Laanguage Tigers (800-789-7489). This is a class held every Monday from 2-3:30pm. In this class they are to be speaking only Spanish. They have been taking this since September and I believe they are done in January.

Hope this helps some.

There is a place called Language Stars in Barrington. They teach Spanish, Mandarin, Italian, etc...quite a few!

They are great! The teachers are absolutely wonderful and the kids always have a great time! We took our daughter there for 2 summers and she was quite the little talker (spanish and italian). We plan on re-enrolling her into Italian this spring/summer.
