Canticuentos is an early childhood Spanish immersion program that introduces the language through stories and songs. Shows are highly interactive and support early language learning, caregiver-child bonding, and meaningful connection to Latino culture.

You may have seen Canticuentos at places like Barnes Foundation, the Please Touch Museum, as well as local libraries across Philadelphia, South Jersey, and community spaces.

We are planning weekly paid classes starting in the winter, and we would love your input to help us choose the best locations, times, and format for families. If you have a child ages 0 to 6, I would really appreciate you taking 2 to 3 minutes to fill out this short survey.

Your input will directly help decide where and when classes happen. Thank you so much for supporting this growing community!
