Languages
Young children have an amazing capacity to pick up new languages. Our focus is to expose children to the sounds of the language and, most importantly, experience the intense cognitive exercise that goes into learning a new language. On a higher level, language exposure supports children's multicultural identities, connecting us all and making the world feel like a smaller place.
