We believe that the most important piece of culture a person can learn and teach is language. Language has the power to create relationships and bring people closer together. Bi-lingual children are confident and proud of their roots and heritage.
Our goal is to develop love for heritage languages and South Asian culture in every child that enters our program by speaking, listening, reading and writing in it. Our program has an emphasis on conversational learning. We teach using a multi-sensorial approach, in which the child will experience and learn the language through stories, music, songs, art, movement, and food!
In each class we introduce unique themes, and words, sentences and grammar associated with it. Every class is interactive, where children get continuous chances to learn and apply the language. We also send parents suggestions on how to reinforce the class learnings for their children at home. This makes the language learning process more fun and also furthers a bonding experience with the child’s family. We also celebrate culturally significant events and personalities during the course of the program.
