Welcome to The Language Tree, a nonprofit Spanish immersion preschool located near downtown Columbia, MO and Stephens Lake Park. At TLT we prepare children ages two through six for kindergarten while learning a second language. There is no requirement for students to have previous exposure or to speak Spanish in the home in order to attend our school.  Each day is made up of a three-hour Spanish immersion class where students learn the Missouri Early Learning Standards taught in the second language.  Our enrichment program is what takes place during the other portion of the day where students learn the preschool standards in English to ensure they are ready for kindergarten.

​

The Language Tree offers year-round enrollment and invites you to tour our school and see Spanish immersion in action! Children can begin attending TLT at age two. Families are encouraged to tour and reserve a spot prior to turning two in order for your child to start on or after their second birthday.
