The
Director:
My name is Blanca M. Lawton. Spanish
is my native language and I take great pride in teaching a second language to young children and adults. I knew early
on I would teach and being a mother of two has only reinforced my belief that introducing children to culture and Spanish
as a second language at a young age has many benefits. Knowing the important role of a bilingual and cultural childhood education,
I sough training and knowledge that could help me reach my goals, including:
• Child Development certificate from
La Secretaria de Education Publica SEP In Mexico City
• Mexican Dance Folklore teaching credential with the Instituto
Nacionalde Bellas Artes INBA in Mexico City.
• Psychology studies at La Escuela Nacional de Estudios Profesionales
IZTACALA (UNAM), México City.
• Medical Assistant Certification and professional Medical Interpreter in Sacramento,
California.
2003. I taught Spanish K-8th grade at The
California Montessori Project in Carmichael CA as well as tutoring privately.
2004-Now. I created and continue to develop the curriculum
for The Spanish Immersion Program in Sacramento, CA and continue growing to Midtown, Folsom, El Dorado Hills,
Roseville and surround areas. I welcome the opportunity each student brings
to The Spanish Immersion Program- The opportunity to incorporate my teaching skills and enthusiasm in creating a successful
learning experience for the students, where learning Spanish is fun! I look
forward to making that happen for you.

Elsa Frederickson
My name is Elsa and Spanish is my native language. I was born and raised in Mexico and moved to Sacramento 4 years
ago. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Law from a private University in Mexico. I am currently attending the American River
College majoring in Early Childhood Education. I've been working with Blanca for the last 3 years and I can’t imagine
myself anywhere else. By working for The Spanish Immersion Program I discovered two of my passions: teaching Spanish and working
with children. I enjoy teaching them my native language and in this way I help them to enrich and enhance their mental development.
At the same time I learn a lot from them. They teach me patience, virtue, peace, the value of time and friendship and most
important, they have the ability to make me laugh everyday. I love what I do and my goal is to help children and adults with
the adventure of learning a second language.
