La Casita Spanish Academy is a small-group Spanish learning experience for children, designed to introduce the language in a natural, engaging, and age-appropriate way. Our sessions focus on listening, speaking, reading, and cultural exposure in a warm, home-like environment.

All sessions are taught by Andrea, founder of La Casita Spanish Academy, a native Spanish speaker born and raised in Ecuador. Andrea brings both cultural authenticity and a gentle, child-centered approach to language learning.

La Casita currently serves children ages 6–10. Sessions are designed for beginners and early learners with little to no prior Spanish exposure.

No. Most of our students are beginners. Spanish is introduced naturally through conversation, stories, games, and repetition..

La Casita offers monthly themed sessions in small groups. Each session includes:

• Conversational Spanish tied to a real-life theme

• Storytime and reading in Spanish

• Interactive activities and games

• Gentle repetition and listening practice

Sessions are currently held in a home-based learning space in Ashland, Ohio. Exact location details are shared after registration.

La Casita is guided by Christian values such as kindness, respect, and care for others. While Spanish instruction is the focus, faith informs how we teach and interact with children rather than being part of formal instruction.

Each session of 4 Saturdays classes is $100 per child. Payment is required at registration to reserve your child’s spot.

Registration is completed online through our Spanish Sessions page. Spots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Yes. Families are welcome to register for multiple sessions as they become available. Each session focuses on a different theme and can be taken independently.

Because space is limited, registrations are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend a session, please contact us as soon as possible and we can re-schedule a make up class but is not guaranteed, is depending on availability of spots of the next class and the theme will probably be the next available.

Yes! Parents are welcome to stay during the lesson.

We encourage parents to remain on-site in a designated parent area where they can sit, observe quietly, or work on their phone or laptop.

While children participate independently in the activities, having parents nearby helps create a safe, comfortable environment—especially for younger learners. Parents are asked to allow the instructor to lead the class and avoid interrupting so students can stay engaged and confident.

✨ Our goal is to create a warm, calm, and structured learning space where kids feel supported and parents feel at ease.
