Kids' Spanish Classes in Los Angeles County

Kallpachay Spanish Immersion, Los Angeles area:
Kallpachay provides quality Spanish immersion language education tools and resources for educators, administrators, and parents to connect students to all aspects of the Spanish culture.

In 2012, Kallpachay’s founder and director, Miriam Epstein, went from teacher to entrepreneur. Ms. Epstein couldn’t help but notice the ease her group of preschool-age students were learning Spanish in an immersion setting. As a Waldorf-trained teacher, she recognized the importance of an arts-based approach to primary-language education and found that children learn best through play and context-rich settings. Seeing this process unfold with a second language made it clear to her that the current model of second-language education was in need of an overhaul. Her initial idea was to help make a change by starting a Spanish immersion summer camp where an ideal synthesis of play and language learning was realized.

In April of 2012, Kallpachay’s first camp banner went up along La Brea Avenue in the heart of Hollywood. The first camp began a few weeks later with twenty children in a home setting. Six years later, Kallpachay’s continuing expansion proves there is a need for quality, early Spanish language education. In 2017 Kallpachay programs served over 600 students, ages 4-13, in 30+ locations throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
