What others are saying about Calico...
Everything you need is provided for you from printable posters to daily preparations. There is no need for the parent/teacher to have a Spanish education or background to use this curriculum. With the entire program accessible online anytime anywhere, this is a curriculum that you can revisit in multiple ways over time. I would recommend this program if you are considering adding an elementary Spanish curriculum.

Huge resource section… a very gentle, immersion approach… all of the games and activities reinforce learning… children might enjoy this so much that they want to do Spanish every day! Calico Spanish makes it easy for parents and teachers who do not know Spanish to help children learn the language.

What a great program! Calico Spanish makes learning Spanish lots of fun. With these materials, kids understand and learn Spanish because there is a logical context and pictures. Fabulously usable set of lesson plans, lots of repetition of each of the basic structures, a controlled immersion experience designed so that kids understand what they hear. There is a lot to love!

I used this program for our first year of homeschooling. We homeschooled for second and fifth grade. It is such a wonderful addition to our language curriculum. The girls love watching the videos and listening to the songs. They will play Spanish class with their dolls and their young cousins. I am looking forward to the next level.
Thank you Calico!

My kids love learning Spanish! They often sing the songs that they learn through the curriculum while doing other things, like taking walks or showers (ha!). The continuity of the characters in the videos is really helping them. I’m very happy with the outcome, and pleased that the curriculum continues to build.

Easy to use and based on a very sensible language learning philosophy. It is wonderful to use with young children. The graphics are colorful and engaging and the songs are so well loved by the kids.
