Language Immersion

Mandarin Chinese & English

Research has shown that there are many benefits to learning a second language. The experience has a huge impact on the developing brain. Children who speak more than one language learn very early on how to express their ideas in more than one way. It makes them better, more flexible learners and communicators. Montessori practitioners believe that children have a sensitive period for language, from birth to 6 years old. During this time, it is important to immerse your child in an environment rich in language stimulation for learning to happen almost effortlessly.
