What if language wasn’t taught... but lived from age 3?
A Spanish immersion experience that is natural, playful, and transforms how young children learn, play, and communicate.
At The Learning Quest, in collaboration with Acton Academy Falls Church, we’ve designed a pilot program that integrates Spanish into the daily lives of children ages 3 to 6—without formal classes or vocabulary lists.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
This guide is designed for school leaders and educators working with constructivist, Montessori, or learner-driven approaches, seeking to incorporate a second language without sacrificing autonomy, play, or deep pedagogy.
A REAL MOMENT:
It’s Tuesday morning. Two four-year-olds are standing by a map.
— “Where are you from?” one asks in Spanish, effortlessly.
The other smiles—a mix of pride and curiosity.
No one told them to practise this phrase. It simply emerged.
This is how Spanish comes alive in our program: through play, exploration, and everyday life.
THE EXPERIENCE:
There are no Spanish “classes.”
No memorising lists or fixed practice times.
Language is woven naturally through games, songs, stories, and spontaneous conversations.
Most importantly: it arises from the children’s own interest.
They ask for it. They use it. They celebrate it.
- Inspired by Montessori, driven by curiosity: Children choose their activities; language emerges as a tool for connection, not an obligation.
- Guides, not traditional teachers: Adults support, model, and offer suggestions, but do not direct or correct from above.
- Real, contextual, emotional learning: Language links to feelings, the body, and the desire to express—not grammar rules.
- Culture, not just language: We foster connections with other Spanish-speaking children through virtual exchanges and authentic materials.
