This is our Story
Welcome to El Recreo Spanish, where language blossoms into community. This is the story behind our vibrant hub of linguistic exploration, creative learning, and cultural celebration.
Growing up in the rich tapestry of Colombia, I was immersed in a world where language was more than just words — it was connection, culture, and belonging. Later, as a mother of three, I felt a deep desire to pass down the gift of bilingualism to my children.
Driven by a belief in the power of language and community, I embarked on a mission to create a space where families could come together to nurture not only language skills, but also identity, confidence, and connection. Thus, El Recreo Spanish was born — a haven for families raising bilingual children, and a nurturing environment where language learning is joyful, meaningful, and accessible to all.
Our vision goes far beyond language instruction. It’s about building bridges across cultures, fostering belonging, and celebrating diversity through Spanish. We offer immersive classes for babies, toddlers, teenagers, and adults, each tailored to spark curiosity and empower learners at every stage.
But our journey doesn't end there.
We now proudly offer:
- Spanish classes across multiple locations, including London, Kent, Bournemouth, and online — so families can learn in a way that suits their lifestyle.
- Spanish activity books for children that blend learning with play — perfect for children aged 3-8 who are discovering numbers, shapes, and early writing in both Spanish and English.
- An online course for parents raising bilingual children, filled with practical tips, inspiration, and expert guidance to support language learning at home.
- Beautifully designed flashcards and downloadable resources to help families introduce and reinforce Spanish in fun, engaging ways.
And for those who dream of building their own community through the love of language, we offer our franchise opportunity. It's a chance for passionate individuals to start their own children’s Spanish learning business under the El Recreo Spanish umbrella, bringing the joy of bilingualism to families in their local area.
We’re more than just a language school — we’re a movement, a community, and a celebration of identity through Spanish.
Thank you for being a part of our story. Let’s continue building it together.
