Kinderland - how it works
A unique language program
for Pre-Kindergarteners,
presented in the facilities of Benjamin Franklin Elementary Glendale
Give your child a head start,
by exposing him/her to a foreign language
early on, while they can pick it up effortlessly!
-
Kinderland
is specifically designed for the ages 3-5, focusing on listening and speaking
skills
-
In
a playful way, the children will acquire the German language easily and
naturally, through games, role play, arts & crafts, songs, rhymes and stories,
while having a lot of fun
-
100% immersion, English only used for comfort or emergency
-
The
children will be in a small group setting and a lot of group activity and
interaction.
-
The
teachers are qualified, very experienced and proficient in English and German
-
The
Kinderland program is based on current research that has shown that foreign
language learning increases social awareness and improves listening,
communicating and memorizing skills.
-
When it comes to ease of
learning and proficiency in a foreign language, earlier is better because young
children have the natural capability to acquire languages effortlessly by simply
being exposed to it.
-
Come to Kinderland and see how well
that works for your child!
