habla blah blah classes introduce the sounds and words of Español with fun and whimsy. Addressing multiple learning styles at a child’s critical period of language development, the class invites children and their caregivers to participate in songs, play, and ritualized communication that can be repeated and reinforced easily at home. And it’s fun!
