Language. Culture. Fun!

Spanish language and cultural enrichment in Columbia, MO.

Welcome to CóMo Estás!

We believe that language learning should be joyful, hands-on, and full of wonder. At CóMo Estás, children explore Spanish through art, music, storytelling, movement, and games—all rooted in rich cultural traditions from across the Spanish-speaking world.

Our classes are small, immersive, and designed to spark curiosity while building critical language skills through play.

Now Enrolling for Summer 2025!

Our summer sessions offer 4-week programs for kids ages 5–11. Each class is taught by caring instructors in a warm, welcoming environment.

Summer Session 1 (June) Theme - Celebrate the Seasons

In this session, students will learn about and engage in las estaciones - how the different seasons of the year are viewed and celebrated across Latin America, from the welcoming of flowers in the spring to the foods and festivals of winter.

Summer Session 2 (July) Theme - The Four Elements

Students will explore the four classical elements — Tierra (Earth), Agua (Water), Aire (Air), and Fuego (Fire) — through hands-on activities, movement, stories, songs, and cultural connections. Students will plant seeds, play with water, build kites, and create fiery volcano art while learning about Latin American traditions.

Registration for our July 2025 session coming soon!
