You've probably heard that children have a much higher
propensity and retention rate
for language learning than adults. Some studies say that if you learn
multiple
languages at a very young age, you have a much better chance of
remembering
them over the long term. Programs like JumpStart Spanish are designed
especially
for children in preschool, kindergarten, and the first grade to make
the
most of this aptitude.
It's a fun-filled exploration of the Spanish language, and you're

Why a Second Language?
Recent child development research indicates that children are most
receptive to language learning at a young age. Kids who have the
benefit of exposure to a second language while they are learning their
native language retain these skills throughout life, forming the
necessary foundations for later development. There's no better time to
get your child off to a bilingual
head start in today's multicultural world.
