Shelley Staton is a graduate of Notre Dame De Sion  where she studied the French language.  She continued her
education at Rockhurst University, studying the Spanish language and communication, earning a Bachelors degree in
Business Communication.  Shelley is the proud wife to Merrill and mother to sons Hamilton, age 4 and Lyman, age 2.  
Shelley's family also deals with such personal challenges as Cystic Fibrosis and Charcot Marie Tooth Disease.  To
support one of these worthwhile causes, Shelley co-founded a non-profit organization called Caring Families for Cystic
Fibrosis to raise money for local families affected by CF.  In 2006 she brought SpanishFUN to the Kansas City area,
another organization that was truly the first of it's kind.  Since then, there have been other local businesses start up
with similar claims and even similar names, providing Young Spanish the greatest example of flattery.

Shelley also founded the Olathe West chapter of Mom's Club and is now avidly involved with the Greater Johnson
County chapter of Mothers and More and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Her son's heightened interest in the
Spanish language prompted the leap of faith to purchase SpanishFUN.  Upon building the Young Spanish business,
Shelley was pleased to find that there were so many other people who shared her love for this multicultural heritage.  
In fact, She discovered that there was an enormous public demand for this program and she was far from alone in
wanting to ensure the foundation of her children's cultural future.  This program has now become a critical part of a
child's successful future.

SpanishFUN already offered some activities to introduce children to a second language, but Shelley has transformed
the school room into a fun and relaxed class setting that is designed to keep children interested while stimulating their
learning experience.  We all know that children can learn in a daycare and preschool setting, but coffee houses,
custard and pastry shops?  It is true!  Shelley has collaborated her innovation, Two-Way Bilingual Immersion program
and Boca Beth products with outside partners to form what we call the perfect environment for learning.  Now parents
can get a 30 minute break to have coffee or a snack and their child gets an education too!  You have the convenience
of us coming to you in a school, group or individual setting or you can visit one of our partnering public locations.  The
flexible monthly curriculum includes an introduction to basic words, names, numbers, colors, animals, days, months
and more.  Shelley and her brilliant staff understand that preschoolers appreciate having fun while learning, so the
program includes the use of songs, games, stories, puppets and other fun activities to keep them excited.  After all,
this all came about while looking for tools to introduce her own child to Spanish.  It was then that she purchased
SpanishFUN, discovered the Boca Beth teaching tools, and then began blending it all perfectly with her past
experience of a mother to create Young Spanish.  Incorporating fun and caring compassion for each child ensures a
true love of learning for Young Spanish students.  Her commitment to excellence results in a high quality, affordable
program that builds each child's sense of self and opens doors to the wonderful world of the Spanish language.   
These reasons begin to highlight why this program is so essential and highly recommended.  This brilliant program is
supported and executed on a daily basis with Young Spanish quality instructors.  The next time you appreciate your
Young Spanish educator, please take a minute to let them know.  Shelley Staton and her indispensable staff are what
make Young Spanish a necessity and integral part of your child's foundation for the future.  


Young Spanish was created to provide all children a foundation in the Spanish Language.


Bilingual Language Methodology

  • Children are spoken to in their native language of English as well as the newly sought Spanish language.  
    Spanish For Preschool is a Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Program.  We feel that Spanish AND English are
    developing languages at this early age and incorporate both into our teaching methodology.

Affordable

  • One month of classes is extremely economical because Shelley believes families with all levels of income
    deserve a fair opportunity for a successful future.

Accessible Locations

  • Classes are offered in a variety of locations.  Children can attend class while at their preschool or daycare, giving
    parents one less location parents need to rush their kids to after school.  

  • Classes are also offered in public locations to offer parents to opportunity to have 30 minutes to sip coffee while
    their children get prepared for their future.  

  • Classes are available in your location in your own private group, with a minimum of 5 children or rated as such.

  • Private tutoring is also available for your individual child or family

Structured and Fun

  • Children are instructed in a structured small group setting and engaged throughout class with puppets, music,
    dancing, crafts, games, stories and other fun activities.  It is 30 minutes packed with educational FUN!  

Block Style Sessions

  • Each month is an independent lesson. This way children can attend one month at a time and even miss a month
    and not be left behind.  

Small Class Size

    allows for personal guidance and encouragement from our Spanish For Preschool educators.
