Casa Hispana is a language and cultural resource center where everyone, including the local community, is welcome. Spanish courses, children's programs, folkloric dance performances, food tastings, and art exhibits are just a few examples of the events that take place at the Casa.
It is the place where you can stop for a coffee and be listened to and cared for no matter who you are or where you come from. Such is our Spanish hospitality and so it should continue.

Welcome back!
This program provides a space and a time for children to play, sing, cook, and do art crafts together with native speakers as instructors. In this way, kids learn by playing and by developing practical skills to communicate in Spanish in the aforementioned settings.
The games are designed to help children to naturally incorporate the right pronunciation (music and speaking), to develop listening skills (instructions in Spanish), as well as to gain some basic writing in Spanish by exposure to children’s books.
Our program provides children with the opportunity to establish relationships with other children in Spanish, as well as with other native speakers of the Latino community in Rochester.
