The Montessori difference, in Spanish

Most Spanish afterschools teach with worksheets. At Toc Toc, children learn Spanish the Montessori way: by doing, exploring and choosing, all day in Spanish.

A Global Childhood Starts Here

Founded by a Latina immigrant and Montessori-certified educator in NYC.

Toc Toc was created from a personal belief that children deserve language learning that feels fun and culturally alive. Inspired by educational experiences across Mexico, Europe and New York City, our programs combine child development, language immersion, music, movement, culture and meaningful connection.

We enrolled our 4-year-old in their after-school program twice a week, and it has been a great experience. The kids have a lot of fun in an immersive environment where everything is in Spanish, which is exactly how we wanted him to practice and be pushed to speak more. The teachers are loving, attentive to each child's developmental needs, and make sure he is progressing. It's a wonderful addition to the LIC neighborhood!

I AM OBSESSED WITH TOC TOC!! What I loved most was that the classes didn't feel like traditional lessons. The kids were learning Spanish through games, songs, activities, and everyday interactions, which made the whole experience feel natural rather than forced. It was so nice to see them excited to participate, curious about new words, and comfortable trying to speak a different language.

This has been an incredible program to immerse my kids into Spanish to get them speaking. The kids look forward to their classes weekly. Weekly progress reports are also sent along with pictures and skills to work on at home!

Really glad TocToc opened up in LIC. I've been looking for Spanish afterschool for my kids for a long time and now they're finally here! The staff is amazing, super friendly, very professional and warm, very prepared and forthcoming. My kids love it! I can only recommend!

I've been using Toc Toc remote for years now, both of my kids. I'm glad they have a location that we can go to if I ever want in person. Their teachers are kind and patient, and curriculum is engaging for little ones. Visit them if you're trying to pick up a language for your children!
