About Us
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum was developed by Blanca Lawton, and Founder of the Spanish Immersion Program. Her approach to language learning involves a combination of structured lessons with developmentally appropriate Play/Pretend Learning activities. The foundation of our program’s curriculum strongly encourages individuality and expression through imaginative play, exploration, music, dance, art, and culture.
The Spanish Immersion curriculum is divided into the following areas:
-
Conversational Spanish, Practical Spanish & Daily Routines
-
Play/Pretend Learning
-
Hispanic Culture and Traditions.
-
Language Workbooks.
-
Creative Subjects (Art and crafts, music, rhythm, and movement).
OUR STORY
The Spanish Immersion Program began in 2004 at the home of Blanca Lawton. What started as a small initiative quickly grew in popularity—particularly among preschool-aged children—prompting the addition of after-school classes, summer camps, and Parents & Me sessions.
In 2009, the program established a permanent presence in the East Sacramento area. As of 2025, regular classes are held at our Land Park location, while our summer camp continues to take place in East Sacramento.
Our Owner and Director, Alejandra Zepeda, is originally from Zamora, Michoacán, Mexico. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from her home country and brings over 18 years of experience in education. Alejandra joined the program in 2022 as a teacher, and her leadership, dedication, and passion for immersive education led her to assume the role of Owner and Director. She continues to carry forward the program’s mission—to provide a comprehensive Spanish immersion experience enriched by family involvement and meaningful, hands-on learning.
