Episode Notes

Imagine this: your three-year-old walks through the door after school and starts telling you about their day in Spanish, then switches right back to English to explain the science experiment they just did. Sounds like a dream, right? But it's real — that's what happens when kids are part of a true immersion program during their most important learning years.

At Excelled Montessori Plus in Stone Oak, San Antonio, kids ages three to six get that exact opportunity. Their Spanish Immersion Preschool Program is designed to spark language skills early, and it's backed by a specialized 1-to-11 teacher-to-student ratio. That means your child isn't just another face in the classroom — they're getting individual attention every single day.

So how does it work? Instead of teaching Spanish with drills or translations, Excelled goes all-in with full Spanish instruction. Kids learn their core subjects through hands-on activities, visual cues, and multi-sensory play. And because children's brains are wired for language before the age of twelve, this approach makes learning feel natural, like picking up a second first language.

And the benefits go way beyond just speaking another language. Research shows bilingual kids often have sharper memory, stronger problem-solving skills, and better focus. They're also more socially adaptable and empathetic—skills that matter just as much in the classroom as they do in life.

Excelled's approach blends Montessori and Reggio Emilia principles, creating a program that adapts to each child's pace and style of learning. And it doesn't stop there. Kids also get yoga, music, science labs, and mindfulness activities built into the week. There's even a motor and movement lab to support physical development. Meals are freshly prepared, and the staff includes highly experienced early childhood educators.

Families in Stone Oak have trusted Spanish Grove Academy — part of Excelled Montessori Plus Schools — since 2010. It's a Cognia Accredited, Texas Rising Star 4-Star campus with a strong reputation for high-quality early education. One parent put it best: "We chose Excelled for the dual-language program. Now our son sings songs in Spanish and English — it's amazing to watch."

So, here's the bottom line: your child's brain will never be more ready for language learning than it is right now. Don't wait until later — start today.
