CommuniKids Language Immersion Preschool

CommuniKids Language Immersion Preschool is a play-based preschool that teaches children Spanish, French, and Mandarin through everyday play, music, and hands-on activities. Founded in 2005 by two parents, it serves toddlers through Pre-K and also runs afterschool care, language classes, and summer camp for older children. The school is one of only about 8% of preschools in the United States with NAEYC accreditation.

Children learn in full immersion with native-speaking teachers, using the Frog Street curriculum in a close, family-oriented community. The school has locations in the Tenleytown, Glover Park, and Cathedral Commons neighborhoods of Washington, DC, plus one in Falls Church, Virginia. Its DC centers take part in the city's Free Pre-K program for 3- and 4-year-olds, and families can schedule a tour through the website.
