Included Enrichment Programs:

Spanish – Our resident Spanish teacher gives weekly lessons through programming that uses music, movement, drama, art and storytelling to teach children.  Spanish is taught by the child hearing the language and it's new and different sounds, and responding to commands first physically, then verbally. Spanish time is once a week for approximately 30 minutes with children 18 months and older. Each lesson includes songs, poems and props.  A note is sent home each week with the key words in which the children have learned.  The LSU Child Care Center integrates Spanish lessons into the planned curriculum for children ages 18 months and older.

Music – Our music program brings music education to your child at the LSU Child Care Center. Rather than adding to your family's weekly schedule, we strengthen your child's learning program on site with weekly music lessons. Your child will participate in a familiar environment with music educators and children he or she knows. The music program is available to children ages 18 months and older.
