Young learners join us with their parents, family member or care givers to explore anew language through our multi-sensory creative teaching, music and movements approach. Students are exposed at an early age to different sounds which is crucial to ensure proper pronunciation as they grow. We help toddlers learn languages early through exposure to sounds and tones that they may not otherwise hear while growing up.

After-school Program
In addition to language classes, students attend art class, get tutoring for their school studies, practice their language, read for twenty minutes and discuss as part of a book club, develop their social skills during their outdoor/indoor activities, participate in cooking demos, and make music themed on culture exposure. Our afterschool students get engaged to explore, express curiosity and ultimately learn and reinforce necessary skills, because of our differentiated approach to instruction.
