Canticos Bilingual Preschool
Preschoolers sing nursery rhymes, watch videos, read books and play games in English and Spanish.
Canticos brings bilingual nursery rhymes to the screen with a set of sweet animated animals. In the app, preschoolers sing along with animated songs in English and Spanish, flip through short picture books, and play simple games around early literacy, counting and shapes. Traditional Latin American rhymes sit next to English classics, so kids hear both languages side by side and parents may recognize songs from their own childhood. Some content touches on feelings, kindness and celebrating different cultures. Since almost everything is sung or read aloud, children who aren’t reading yet seem able to tap around on their own. It looks like a cheerful starting point for a second language, or a warm way to keep a home language present in daily play.
