Neighborhood Bilingual Preschool: Zoom

If you’re interested in sending your pre-schooler to a Spanish-immersion school in the neighborhood, in addition to Cometa Playschool (which we reported on back in June), Zoom Playschool has a Wallingford location with classes for children ages one through ten.

Zoom owner Angelica Camargo reports that Zoom is a Spanish immersion program “that is presented in conjunction with a creative curriculum designed to stimulate intellectual curiosity, develop logical thought processes, support cognitive growth, enhance language opportunities and build phonological and written language skills.”

Angelica notes that “our students are able to read and write simple sentences in Spanish” after completing the class for 4-year-olds, so it’s a good foundation if your child will be entering the Spanish immersion programs at McDonald Elementary or John Stanford International School.

Zoom’s main location is in Ballard, and Angelica opened a second location in Wallingford in 2009 “because we really love the neighborhood” and many of the schools’ families live in the neighborhood.
