Let's work together to accomplish this goal!
What is the Mamaestra de Español Program?
It is an Early Bilingual Stimulation Program designed to introduce the mother to the language so she can introduce it to the child later. This will ensure that the baby's experiences and interactions with the parents are beautiful, sweet, and linguistically functional. In conjunction with One Parent, One Language (OPOL) or Time and Place (T&P), Mamamestra de Espanol activities, coaching, and products can be used as an outside resource for families to build a habit at home that focuses on the minority language.
This program is primarily developed for families where none of the parents or caregivers speak the target language (Spanish), so they depend exclusively on external resources or assistance like us to provide target language input to their children. Because some families have parents who are familiar with some of the language, but not enough to provide consistent input, our curriculum is designed to provide the content and the guidance on how to teach in that language. This is why we include coaching once per week with our materials. Let's do this together! Just hold our hands and we'll be fine.
In our 30-minute sessions, the teacher-author leads the parent in engaging with the child using Mamaestra material through games, music, and language activities. It is then transferred to the child by the caregiver (this is Mamaestra's concept) until the next coaching session when moms will receive another topic. As well as providing advice on how to use the method at home, we also provide guidance to families. We also encourage you to contact us if you have any questions about child-directed Spanish, raising bilingual children, or our materials.
Science Behind this Program
Benefits from Learning a Second language
Early exposure to a second language offers five main benefits.
- Faster and easier learning.
- Enhance problem-solving and creativity.
- Enhance your future career prospects.
- Build tolerance by connecting with other cultures.
- Utilize the brain's potential to the fullest extent possible
Learning a Second language at Early Age
Science indicates that babies’ brains are the best learning machines ever created and that infants’ learning is time-sensitive. Their brains will never be better at learning a second language than they are between 0 and 3 years of age.
Learning a Second language through music
In the early months of life, when brain pathways are formed, lullabies help infants create neural pathways for calming down, soothing, and falling asleep but also to acquire sounds from different languages.
We will ensure that our students develop a love for learning foreign languages and never lose interest in the language.

This is a hispanic site that helps parents, teachers, and caregivers raise bilingual children. We provide you with the best resources to help you learn and teach Spanish to your child, no matter where you are on your language learning journey.

How It Works
Working Together
Parents interested in teaching Spanish to babies and toddlers while they are home-schooling their kids will love this book series. Through early bilingualism, students become familiar with the language and build fluency and become familiar with starting with sounds, phrases, lullabies, songs, games, toys, and continuing with fun activities, engaging topics, and hands-on learning.
The activities in this book collection are linked to a formal upper-level curriculum. There are three books available, including Mamaestra I, which contains 50 daily small dialogues between a mother and a new baby. You can use these expressions throughout the day. In addition, we have complementary books and songs like 50 lullabies, 10 mini-book collections and onomatopoeias. Our next level, Mamaestra II, includes a toybook, which is a hand-made book (toy book) for the child to manipulate, based on which the songs, readings, and workbook are designed. Our main goal is to increase vocabulary by 300 words. Topics include the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, family, pets, and the zoo. In the third level, Mamaestra III, our products continue to increase the language but at a more conversational level with full sentences. The ToyBook units are also included in this level. Aside from these activities, the program includes: mamaestra reading time, mamaestra craft time, mamaestra story time, mamaestra circle time, and mamaestra Spanish coaching.
This workbook helps moms to help young kids learn Spanish through easy-to-follow instructions for lessons. Additionally, moms can have a subscription to our website and follow with us a lesson online.
Designed to enhance current homeschool, classroom, and virtual Spanish curriculum settings, parents and teachers can support student learning using the social media for extra support.

This method emphasizes social interaction with the mother or caregiver, and during these daily encounters, the program offers a variety of games, songs, and activities. With “infant-directed speech,” we start with sounds, words, phrases, sentences, questions, and daily expressions using simpler grammar, a high pitch, and a drawn-out vowel.
