Our Spanish Immersion
For families searching for a Spanish immersion preschool near them in Houston, LIPP offers an engaging program designed to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.
Learning Spanish at a young age builds a strong linguistic foundation and broadens cultural horizons. Houston’s cultural and economic ties to Latin America make Spanish an especially valuable second language for children growing up here! In fact, nearly one-third of Houston’s population is Spanish-speaking. The benefits of our Spanish Immersion program extend across the nation, with Spanish being the second most used language in the United States.
From cuisine and music to history and art, children at LIPP begin connecting with the traditions of more than 20 countries where Spanish is the native tongue. Many English-speaking children also find that Spanish comes naturally to them, since hundreds of English and Spanish words share the same roots.

Why Spanish?
Spanish is one of the fastest-growing languages in the United States, and Houston offers countless opportunities to hear, practice, and use it daily. Globally, Spanish is the fourth most spoken language, with more than 400 million speakers across 21 countries.
Being bilingual in Spanish not only enriches travel and cultural experiences but also opens doors in education and international business. The U.S. counts many Latin American nations among its closest trading partners, and by 2050, more than 100 million Spanish speakers are expected to live in the U.S.
For Houston families, choosing a Spanish immersion preschool means giving children skills they will carry into every stage of life, academically, professionally, and socially.
“Language is a city to the building of which every human being has brought a stone."
