  • Creating Bilingual Citizens, Ready for Kinder.

Our students develop life-long skills in a Spanish immersion environment with diverse teachers and classmates. They explore global cultures and take an active role in their own learning in a positive, nurturing and loving atmosphere. They learn to ask questions and inquire as they make sense of the world around them while building language, math and literacy skills.

Program Highlights

  • Passionate, Diverse Teaching Team

    Lead teachers and teaching assistants have an average of 17 years experience, with an average 4 year tenure at Magellan. Our teachers call 15 different countries home. Our Head of Preschool is a global International Baccalaureate lead site visitor, consultant and workshop leader.

  • Language & Dramatic Play

    Through Spanish immersion as well as complimentary instruction in English, our students learn foundational skills in both languages in the classroom. Through listening and speaking, viewing and presenting, pre-reading and pre-writing activities, our students are developing as bilingual citizens of the world and preparing for Kindergarten.

  • Math & Dramatic Play

    Math is introduced to our young students in a meaningful, relevant way through play. When children pretend to cook in the kitchen area, they talk about fractions (I need half a stick of butter), measurement (Pour in 2 cups of milk), counting (Beat in four eggs), and sequencing (First, stir the batter). It’s through this play that math is made fun and engaging.

  • Social & Emotional Growth

    While our teaching team works to harbor the understanding of empathy and caring during the school day, dedicated licensed counselors work with our students to strengthen their problem solving skills and discuss positive ways to resolve conflicts.

  • The Arts

    A sense of creative expression is fostered by a dedicated Art teacher and dedicated Music teacher who meet with students on a weekly basis. Guiding them to find connections between learning, creativity and personal expression, children build fine motor skills while painting, sculpting, playing instruments and dancing.

  • Design Thinking

    At the intersection of academic skill, problem solving and creative expression lies Design Thinking, an integral part of the Primary Years Program at Magellan. Our young learners are exposed to the concepts of creative problem solving, trial and error and project management, skills that prepare them for greater exploration in Kinder at the Magellan i.Lab.
