About 90 percent of a child’s brain development happens before the age of 5! This means it’s the perfect time to help kids learn Spanish. Wilder's Child Development Center would like to start teaching their children Spanish as there are many benefits for providing language learning at a young age.
As a Volunteer Spanish Teacher, you will share your language abilities and teaching skills to help our students ages 2 to 5 learn Spanish. You will prepare weekly lesson plans in collaboration with classroom teachers that are age-appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers and then bring those plans to life in the classroom. You can promote learning through play, song, instruction, activities, and/or conversation. Anyone who cares about young children’s social, emotional and cognitive development can help provide Spanish-language instruction to help CDC kids grow and have fun learning. Help expand the horizons for CDC’s kiddos and enseña español!

- Attend training with our Family Program Coordinator
