Philosophy
The Children’s Center for Language and Culture (ChiCeLaCu!) is licensed by the Virginia Department of Education and offers full- and part-time options at its Fairfax City and Falls Church/Tyson locations, as well as various online classes. Children learn Spanish and are exposed to various Latin American cultures through a fun, long-term, and highly effective curriculum that combines in-person classroom learning and online classes with the visual and performing arts.
Learning another language benefits a child’s intellectual and emotional development. At ChiCeLaCu!, children can achieve Spanish proficiency in 3 to 4 years of continued enrollment. We take pride in the individualized attention given to every one of our students and in the highly effective and fun learning environment.
Mission
Advance children’s academic achievement and emotional growth through effective, long-term Spanish immersion programs where the arts combined with innovative teaching strategies encourage self-expression, creativity, and collaboration.
Vision
Prepare students to compete in a global economy while fostering respect and appreciation for cultural heritage, diversity, individual differences, and our natural environment.
