  Cesar Urzua en ABC Go nurseries. Fall 2022 

Working at ABC Go Escuela Infantil, was such a life changing experience. If you are interested in a possible career in healthcare, learning about child development and family relationships in different cultures, or just a mere interest to see what it’s like to teach children, this is the perfect opportunity. The teachers and faculty at ABC Go are some of the most thoughtful, patient, and caring people I have ever met, and make this experience comfortable and a great place to learn. At this internship you are able to look at how younger children interact with the world outside of their household, and you get to see several different developing personalities and their actions, which is such an honor to see. Let’s not forget how loving the children are, which just completely fills your heart. ABC Go is a place where a lot of learning can occur around the development of children, and who knows you might find a passion for working with children, or find that affirming answer that will prove the career in life that you are chasing.Cesar Urzua, Skidmore.

I have been helping out in a classroom of 2 and 3 year olds in an escuela infantil for English language immersion where we mostly play games and with toys, sing songs and do other learning activities. I have learned a lot about how a Spanish escuela infantil functions and how kids learn a language that is not native to them. I would definitely recommend this internship if you like kids because it has been a lovely experience working with kids and seeing how they learn and develop. My coworkers are great too and I have loved being a part of the team. Katya Silverman Stoloff, Tufts. Spring 2022

           I am assisting head teachers at a bilingual preschool in Madrid. My job is to encourage reading, singing, and educational activities in english to children ranging from 2-4 years old. Working at ABCGo Nurseries this fall was an exciting, insightful, and rich experience filled with wonderful opportunities that have enhanced my knowledge in many content areas. It was a wonderful way to improve my Spanish, practice working with children of different ages, and compare different schooling methods. I really enjoyed my responsibility of caring for the children and the relationships I formed with them and their families. I highly recommend this practice for those who are dedicated to working with kids and looking to improve their teaching abilities in and outside of the classroom. Amanda Orvis, Skidmore. Fall 2018

I would definitely recommend this internship to future students. For academic reasons, I would specifically recommend this internship to students studying education or psychology, particularly cognitive psychology or developmental psychology. But I also think that a large part of the study abroad experience is about making connections, and kids of ages 1-3 are so eager to connect and are so affectionate. I’ve found that working with these kids and developing relationships with them has been a really good experience for me, especially while trying to make new connections in a new place, and I would therefore recommend it to anyone who has enough patience and energy with kids to work closely with them and foster meaningful relationships.  Rachel Chang, Skidmore.

I hope other Tufts-Skidmore Spain students decide to take the opportunity to work with ABCGo. I am very grateful for having had this experience and for all the hard work and dedication the staff of the Tufts-Skidmore Spain program put in to make these experiences possible for the students. ABCGo is a lovely private daycare that goes to great lengths to give the best to its children. While at times the schedule of a daycare can be monotonous, I did feel like the work I was doing was needed and appreciated. I feel like this internship helped me to feel more like a local of Madrid and gave me a new perspective on a different culture. As much as I have helped the children and staff of ABCGo throughout this semester, I feel like they have helped me even more. Jenna Terio, Tufts. Fall 2016

My experience working at ABC Go in Madrid, Spain has been incredibly rewarding
and eye opening. Throughout my time I was able to learn various methods on how to teach
language to children and manage a classroom. The experience allowed me to learn about and
gain a passion for language acquisition, especially in regards to bilingual children. I gain
insight into the education system of Spain. I am very grateful for the experience. Evelyn Ocampo, Tufts. Fall 2015

At my internship with ABCGo Nurseries as an assistant teacher I learned a great deal from the staff and the 3-month to 3-year-old children. I learned about child development, teaching, discipline, and affection within the context of Spanish culture. My work at the preschool helped me to feel like an integral part of the Spanish community, and I am very grateful for the experience. More info Liz Aaron, Skidmore. Spring 2015

De esta experiencia, aprendí mucho sobre otros estilos de enseñanza. … También, fue una lección sobre el proceso de adaptación en un ambiente nuevo. Esta experiencia es importante para mi futuro porque las dos cosas que me interesan más son vivir en España y enseñar a los niños. Emma Weitzenkorn, Skidmore. Spring 2014
