¡Bienvenidos a Casa Hispana!

We extend a warm welcome to our vibrant community and university students alike. Casa Hispana is not just a place to learn about the Spanish language and culture, but also a space to connect, share, and celebrate our diverse backgrounds.

Through our activities, including language classes, cultural events, and more, we aim to bridge the gap between the community and students. Let's come together, learn from each other, and create lasting connections that enrich us all.

Join us in embracing the diversity of our community and the university, as we embark on this journey of cultural exploration and understanding.

Learning Spanish through Play for children

This program provides a space and a time for children to play, sing, cook, and do arts and crafts together with native speakers as instructors. In this way, kids learn by playing and by developing practical skills to communicate in Spanish in the aforementioned settings.

The games are designed to help children to naturally incorporate the right pronunciation (music and speaking), to develop listening skills (instructions in Spanish), as well as to gain some basic writing in Spanish by exposure to children’s books.

Our program provides children with the opportunity to establish relationships with other children in Spanish, as well as with other native speakers of the Latino community in Rochester.

Ages: 4 -9 years old

Saturdays, 10:00AM to 11:00AM 

Fall: Sept.16th - December 9th

Spring: January 27th to May 4th (No class on Saturday, March 16th and the weekend of Easter, March 30th.)

Cost: $240
