Attaining language fluency is a long-term process that varies among individuals. Several factors affect how fluent an individual can become with the language. These factors include (1) how much exposure to the foreign language does the child receive outside of the classroom, (2) the child’s age, (3) the learning pace of the child, and (4) overall skill level of the child.

We strongly encourage families to reinforce our lessons at home through the use of the activity sheets and audio files to these sheets that are provided each week. When students are having difficulties learning the material and the families are spending some time at home reinforcing the material, we recommend that families use resources to supplement class instruction such as music, audio books, DVDs to help students get more comfortable with the first stage of learning a language, listening. Once the student feels more comfortable with this stage, he or she may be ready to move onto to the understanding and speaking. Every student’s situation is different and can be addressed on a case by case basis. For more information on resources to supplement the language learning at home, visit the Resource Center.

All of our teachers are fun, energetic, and have a strong desire to share their language and culture with children. In many cases, they have teaching backgrounds either in their native countries or in the United States. They all have experience in working with children and have had Maryland and FBI Criminal Background Checks. Visit Staff to find out more about our teachers.

It is our mission to teach children age-appropriate fundamentals of a foreign language in a fun, safe, and nurturing group environment. By using kid-friendly visual and musical materials, children can learn a new language and culture in a way that does not involve memorization. Typical activities include songs, storybooks, arts and crafts, puppets, and games.

Families will receive a link to the Parent Handbook prior to the start of class that includes the classroom expectations for students. We encourage families to talk with their students regarding our expectations so that the learning experience is a positive one for all of our students. Students that are unable to follow classroom expectations after several warnings and consultations with the family may be asked to leave our program.

Each class has learning objectives that are detailed in the newsletter that all registered families receive at the start of a new session.
