All of our classes are total immersion - that is, there is no English spoken in the class whatsoever. One of the benefits of learning a language so young is the ability to replicate any sound system and to acquire a native accent. Therefore, we feel strongly that classes should be taught by native speakers. ALL of our teachers are native speakers of the target language. We also adhere to the prevailing philosophy among experts in early childhood education that children learn best through play. All of our classes are play-based. Each session is organized under a single theme and the weekly activities are all related to the organizing theme.

18-36 month old classes:
Let’s move! Our toddlers enjoy exciting classes that make use of their unbounded energy and openness. Children will develop fine and gross motor skills while enjoying developmentally appropriate music, art, and movement activities, completely in the target language.

3-4 year old classes:
Our preschoolers will focus on speaking and listening skills as they become more comfortable with the target language through the full-immersion model. They participate in circle time, puppet play, storytelling, crafts, movement, and music.

5-6 year old classes:
In classes for our oldest age group, the focus is on speaking and listening skills, but we begin to introduce pre-reading skills as well. Children will be prompted to produce more language and will focus on more complex activities while still enjoying a dynamic, play-based program.

6-8 year old classes:
Our oldest learners take their knowledge a step further with a full-immersion, culture-based program that provides a challenging yet nurturing and fun environment.
