The Spanish Playhouse

I want my daughters to grow up fully American and fully Dominican. Spanish allows them to connect these two worlds so they never have to choose.

Have you ever heard of a rooster in love with a pair of boots? Well I have, and telling one of the little ones about him inspired my 52 stories from home. I’ve curated a collection of precious childhood memories that you can read every week with your little one.

They don’t realize it, but every day, they train their voices to great people politely and respectfully in Spanish. They’ll need these exact words in real life one day, and they won’t hesitate to use them.

Spanish terms of endearment are one of the most beautiful gifts you can pass down. They carry the warmth of how your own mom or abuela spoke to you.

Let us know in the comments: what does your mom call you, or what do you call you kids?

The Spanish Playhouse is not a school. It’s not a daycare. It’s not an online-only curriculum. So what are we?

The Spanish Playhouse is a family-grown Spanish experience where children are immersed in the language, culture, and way of life I learned growing up between the Dominican Republic and Rhode Island.

We often receive inquiries from out-of-state families saying “I can’t find anything like this near me” or asking us if we know of similar places. We aren’t gatekeeping when we say we don’t. It’s the truth, but soon, our online courses will allow us to bring the Playhouse method straight to your door.

What do you think of when you hear “90s summer”? Maybe it’s a lemonade stand or chasing the ice cream truck down the street.

For me, it’s el limber. My neighbor made the best coconut limber, and every summer my sister and I would walk to her house as soon as we’d saved up enough coins to buy some.

Even if you’ve never heard of limber before, I hope this story brings you and your little ones that nostalgic summer feeling as you read it together tonight.

Your child will never use Spanish in real life if they don’t practice using Spanish in real life.

Worksheets and flashcards are wonderful tools when used correctly (in fact, we have several available for free on our website right now) but there’s no substitute for real life moments.

When your child’s world becomes Spanish, then they answer back in Spanish.

Don’t tell my mom… but I know exactly what Fifa said, when she said it, and who she said it to.🫢

This is what it looks like when Spanish is kept alive and passed on from generation to generation. We’re three generations strong, and every child who walks through our doors becomes a part of that legacy.
