For Beginners and Bilingual Families

All levels are welcome – from first Spanish words to passive bilingual children who understand everything but rarely speak.

Spanish Through Play

Babies, toddlers and young children absorb Spanish naturally through stories, music, movement and sensory activities – never through pressure.

Playful Spanish Classes for Little Learners

Gentle, play-based Spanish classes in London, where children learn through songs, 
movement and sensory play.

Play-based Spanish 
for Babies, Toddlers 
and Young Children

At Shaping Little Minds, children learn Spanish in the way little ones learn best – through play, connection and joy. Our sessions are calm, creative and fully play-based, with a strong focus on emotional safety and confidence. Beginners, bilingual families and everyone in-between are warmly welcomed.

What Parents Say

Valen Calanche

Sara es muy dulce con los nenes, las clases tienen diversos temas, siempre trae messy play relacionado al tema del dia y mi hijo las disfruta muchisimo!

Tiziana Rizzi

I attended a first class today in Kensington with my 21 month old daughter and absolutely loved it! Sara was so sweet and energetic, she made it a lot of fun and educational! She repeated and pronounced words which helps those of us who aren’t fluent Spanish speakers. There’s a good mix of singing, messy play and arts and crafts. We can’t wait to return for more!

Latifa Nabdali

I took my 8 month old daughter to Sara’s Spanish class, we attended a trial session and we loved it so much that we have just booked another 3 sessions. I highly recommend this class. It’s super fun, great songs and we can’t wait to go back next week : )

Our Friday messy play sessions at Emmanuel Church are currently on pause, but we’ll be hosting special weekend messy play events soon! If you’d like to stay updated, you can join our main list.

In the meantime, feel free to check out our Spanish immersion classes!
