¡Vamos! English-Spanish Immersion Program
Let’s Go, in Two Languages!
An English-Spanish immersion program built the Doodle Bugs! way: through play, music, stories and friendship. ¡Vamos! gives children meaningful daily exposure to Spanish during the years their brains are most ready for it, whether they already hear Spanish at home or are meeting it for the very first time.
A Second Language, the Doodle Bugs! Way
At Doodle Bugs!, we believe children learn best through play, relationships and meaningful experiences. ¡Vamos! applies that same belief to language: rather than memorizing vocabulary lists or completing worksheets, children experience Spanish as something living, joyful and exciting.
¡Vamos! is led entirely in Spanish by a dynamic Spanish-speaking teacher through authentic materials, immersive play-based experiences, music, movement, storytelling and hands-on exploration. It runs side by side with our Bravo!® curriculum, so children get everything the Doodle Day already offers, plus a whole second language.
What ¡VAMOS! Builds
Communication skills
Listening comprehension and expressive language grow in both English and Spanish.
Social-emotional growth
Children build empathy, perspective-taking and confidence through shared experiences.
Cognitive flexibility
Early bilingual exposure strengthens attention, problem-solving and creative thinking.
School readiness
Vocabulary, storytelling and collaboration skills that carry into kindergarten and beyond.
Inside the ¡Vamos! Program
The interactive Spanish program is carefully designed to meet children at their developmental level while encouraging participation, creativity, movement and connection. Through songs, games, imaginative play, stories and collaborative activities, children engage with language in ways that build confidence and curiosity.
- Songs & music: Melody and rhythm make new sounds easy to remember.
- Movement & games: Whole-body learning connects words to actions.
- Storytelling & puppet shows: Narrative gives language meaning and emotion.
- Authentic children’s literature: Books from across the Spanish-speaking world.
- Dramatic & imaginative play: Children use their new words for real purposes.
- Collaborative activities: Language grows fastest between friends.
Our Happy Teachers!
¡Vamos! is taught entirely in Spanish by a dynamic, qualified Spanish-speaking teacher who brings authentic language, culture and energy to every session. Children experience the same warmth, creativity and nurturing that defines every Doodle Bugs! classroom.
