Language Workshop For Children, New York:
Whether it's language immersion preschool, after-school lessons, school-break programs, toddler classes, baby education or summer day camp, we at the Language Workshop for Children in New York know how to teach your child in the best way.

About Us:

The Language Workshop for Children was established by François Thibaut in New York in 1973. Since then his internationally-recognized LWFC has offered stimulating language lessons for babies, toddlers and elementary grades.

Original music, vocabulary-building songs, language immersion, festive visual aids, action games and native-fluent language teachers are why the LWFC is the country’s leader in children’s language educational play. As Thibaut says, “Children remember the words that make them happy”.

Our Method:

Our method combines carefully structured curriculum and a child's innate love of play. LWFC structured playgroups let parents capture the window of opportunity years when children possess their greatest capacity to absorb and retain language.

Each new session every student receives a fresh song CD tucked into a colorful, professionally illustrated and printed Songs and More™ workbook to take home, practice with, and collect keep. The LWFC's Songs and More series is available exclusively through the LWFC’s Thibaut Technique® classes. Since the melodies and the words change every session students constantly acquire and build upon their inventory of language skills.

In Thibaut Technique classes kids learn naturally, not by translating.
First they hear, then they understand, and finally they speak.
