I desire to find more information about a program called Chicos Felices which is located in Nassau Bahamas.
This unique school is an option for parents who wish for their children to learn Spanish at a very young age.
The school is designed for children ages 1-6 who have no prior knowledge of the Spanish language; it incorporates those who have been exposed to it, and those who speak it.
“Chicos Felices”, is a community based program on learning and fun.
Through a hands on learning environment along with the abeka curriculum, the children gain the necessary pre-reading skills which makes them proficient in the English language.
Jointly, they are introduced to the Spanish language through conversational activities, at this precise period; the once in a life time crucial age, for the acquisition of a second language, the pre-school age. Children learn Spanish the natural way, through hearing, doing, repeating and playing.
Altogether, the exposure to a second language, motivational and fun learning
Activities will aim to discover his/her linguistic abilities, develop his/her cognitive capabilities, and aim for the development of the whole child.
Charges Tuition: 300.00 a month *10 (months)= 3,000
Uniforms: 45.00 a set (shirt and pants)
Lunch is not provided, nor snacks.
