Class Schedule & Information
Methodology:
Our lively immersion classes integrate play, music, movement, and art to engage children and connect the foreign sounds and words to everyday items and activities. Quarterly themes are brought to life through music, stories, and games that are often familiar to parents and easy to repeat in the home.
We provide weekly vocabulary and lyrics so parents can reinforce the language outside of class, whether or not the parent has previous language experience or fluency.
Children learn quickly! To support them, we encourage parents to learn along with their children without translating during class. We open up the last five minutes of class to review material and have Q&A - in English.
Class Information
We are delighted you are interested in our classes. Learning another language is a rewarding and possibly life-changing experience. It is a real gift to your child and to yourself! Foreign language classes are taught by native-level speakers and are an immersion experience for both the child and adult. From the online parent portal, we provide materials for you to support your child's budding language skills at home between classes.
Fall 2010 Schedule
We are thrilled to offer an expanded program this fall. Thanks to a new partnership with the Seattle Parks Department, we will offer programs in FIVE new Seattle Community Centers this September.
