Listos Preschool and Childcare

Listos Preschool and Childcare Rochester's first Spanish-English preschool. In Spanish, Listos means both smart and ready Why learn a second language at such a young age?

The program is open to all children ages 3 to 5 years and features bilingual education and care. The program strives to have a balance of children who speak different languages in each classroom. In addition to learning from the teachers, children in the program can also learn language from each other. Listos is located at Peace United Church of Christ, which is also the fiscal sponsor for the non

-profit preschool and childcare. Listos has a separate board of directors and has no religious curriculum. Listos is seeking contributions to provide scholarships to ensure that this high-quality learning environment is available to all children. Brain research has found that the majority of language learning happens from birth to age five. Research has also revealed many cognitive benefits of being bilingual such as brain growth, improved reading and listening abilities, boosted creativity and enhanced problem-solving skills. The ability to speak another language in addition to the benefits of attending a high-quality preschool and childcare will create a positive life-long impact for the children and their families.
