3. More than just Spanish: Build Socioemotional Intelligence
Socialization. Naming Emotions. Mindfulness Exercises. Authentic Hispanic Culture.
Spanish is just the tip of the iceberg here at Mi Casa Es Tu Casa. The heart of our program is to raise healthy children in a mindful, conscious environment, offering little ones a healthy model for socializing in and outside of the classroom. We also know that, for all children, having engaging cultural experiences provides an outlet for creativity and self-expression. And for Hispanic children especially, having a strong connection to one's ancestral roots can enhance overall well-being and reduce feelings of stress or anxiety.
-Songs and sign language that help children identify & express different emotions.
-Accessible mindfulness techniques for children with help from our beloved puppets.
-Authentic Hispanic cultural enrichment through both traditional songs as well as original ones.
