Learning Spanish Can Be Fun With Full On Immersion With Program Coordinator Melody Gonzalez For Kallpachay

 
Intro 
Melody Gonzales Program Coordinator of Kallpachay. The idea behind Kallpachay took root when its founder and director, Miriam Epstein, observed the ease with which her group of preschool-age students were learning Spanish in an immersion setting.
Her Waldorf training emphasized the importance of an arts-based approach to primary-language education as well as the idea that children learn best through play and context-rich settings, and seeing this process unfold with a second language made it clear to her that the current model of second-language education was in need of an overhaul.
Her initial plan to contribute to this need was to start a Spanish immersion summer camp where an ideal synthesis of play and language learning could be realized.  
Kallpachay has, from its inception, been nothing short of a labor of love. Her goal in starting this company was to provide children with enriching Spanish education experiences and honor their enthusiasm for life and learning.  
Top three takeaways 
How many US presidents were homeschooled (Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, etc.), many scientist were homeschooled (Toma Edison and Alexander GrahamBell).
How their program provides versatility to adapt to every type of classroom and every level of the student. 
How the children can learn Spanish not in the traditional method but in a very fun, engaging and enjoyable program.
