The Sonrisas Spanish Curriculum was first created as a preschool Spanish curriculum. It is effective for early language learners because instruction is play-based, and activities are age-appropriate and engaging. Sonrisas Preschool Curriculum enables young learners to acquire Spanish naturally and develop a positive connotation with language learning.
