Spanish For Kids
Children in our program are functionally fluent in Spanish in less than 500 hours. We have Spanish programs for kids ages 3-11, with immersion Spanish lessons that are focused on fun and interactive activities.
A Proven Way To Teach Your Child Spanish
Learning Spanish for kids has been proven to be more effective when children are completely unaware they are being "taught" Spanish ... which is exactly what happens at McKee! In our environment of play, teaching kids Spanish becomes a natural way to learn the language through activities with a native speaker. For us, teaching kids Spanish isn't about memorization (which is not the best way for kids to learn Spanish), it's about using the language in daily activities.
Our classes are full of language with real-world application, and live interaction which leads to fluency. After a year or two, students can tell stories, talk about daily tasks and activities, and play games fully in Spanish.

A Better Way To Teach Kids Spanish
When evaluating Spanish programs for kids, there are several options to consider. Among others, trying out a homeschool Spanish curriculum hiring a Spanish tutor for your kids are some of the more prevalent options.
Which is going to be the best way to teach Spanish to kids, as well as best option for you and your family? We have some helpful info to consider:
A Great Alternative To Homeschool Spanish
For parents who are native speakers and want their children to learn the language, passing a language to your children is harder than it seems, with some children getting by with just understanding but not speaking Spanish well. McKee Spanish classes for children have proven to be very successful as an additional resource to what's being learned at home.
Unlike at home, in our program your child is surrounded by peers who are speaking Spanish constantly and being encouraged. This allows your child to not only learn from our instructors but also from classmates and helps them understand that speaking Spanish doesn't make them feel odd or feel that Spanish is something only in their home.
Better Than Private Spanish Lessons For Kids
Hiring a Spanish tutor involves background vetting, and making sure your tutor is a good fit for your child and their learning style — Avoid the hassle of finding a Spanish teacher for your children with our Spanish teachers at McKee. Each teacher has been carefully selected (and approved) already, making the McKee school a great alternative to private Spanish lessons for kids. (You'll also find our pricing is more cost effect than private lessons!)
Another factor to consider when comparing McKee over a Spanish tutor for kids is motivation. Even with a private tutor, students may not feel motivated to participate. At McKee, our teaching methodology naturally motivates your child to participate in what appears to be a fun challenge, not a structured Spanish lessons. Also, because all lessons are fully Spanish-immersive, your child is motivated to learn key phrases and language structures to not only communicate with his teacher, but new friends in their class.
Teach Spanish To Kids With McKee Instead
At McKee, we have a proven methodology that's focused on your child. We have small class sizes, so your child can have one-on-one interactions in a fully immersive Spanish experience. This approach is more successful than worksheets or vocabulary tests and online Spanish classes for kids because your child is engaged in fun, interactive activities, that naturally develop their Spanish-speaking abilities.
