Teaching Methodology

Our Little Sponges® multilingual curriculum provides the instructional framework for developing children’s comprehension, oral, and literacy skills in multiple languages using our standards-based Watch, Learn, Play® methodology.  

Our Watch, Learn, Play©  methodology derives from our belief that the acquisition of bilingualism for young children should be playful, creative and accessible to different types of learners. That’s why our culturally responsive curriculum is packed with scaffolded supports that utilize visual, audio, sensory, graphic, and interactive elements.  These supports are aligned with the Universal Design by Learning framework (by David H. Rose, Ed.D. of the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Center for Applied Special Technology), which provides young bilingual children with multiple means of engagement, representation, action, and expression when acquiring a second language. We adhere to these principles by allowing children a plethora of opportunities to practice sequentially or flexibly on their quest to advance their second language communication skills.
