About Nana’s Playhouse
Founded in 2007, Nana’s Playhouse Learning Center has been providing families in South Austin with excellence in a bilingual setting since. As a family-owned business, our main goal is contributing to raising full, happy children in a safe, warm and comfortable place. Through a kind, firm and patient treatment, we aim to make them feel at home while learning a Spanish as a second language.

This allows us to form a great, trustworthy team that provides children with everything they need for optimal, comprehensive development. All our staff receive CPR and pediatric first aid training, as well as extensive training in early childhood development to ensure they promote self-esteem and age-appropriate activities in a safe, well-supervised environment.
Benefits of Bilingual Education
The goal of our program is to immerse children in an enriching, Spanish speaking environment that fosters a love of learning and curiosity while interacting with native Spanish speakers. Learning a language as a child has multiple advantages, and it makes children better students, as well as more tolerant, sociable people.
Faster, Natural Learning
Children are like sponges, and learning another language increases the speed with which they pick up new information.
Learning is Fun
For them, Spanish or any other language is a new, fun experience. They start talking and singing with those new words at any moment.
Greater Fluency
Early learning allows them to incorporate Spanish into their daily lives while assimilating their native language, and it leads to greater fluency in speech.
Memory Stimulation
Learning a new language as a child provides better cognitive development that can be seen across the board.
Multitasking Ability
Differentiating between languages and choosing when to speak one over the other stimulates a child’s ability to execute several tasks at the same time.
More Creativity
It may come as a surprise, but exposure to multiple languages from childhood fosters greater creativity, not only in a linguistic or literary level, but in many other artistic fields.
