These multi-age classes are for families wanting to practice English. You and your children attend together to improve your English language skills through conversation, learning activities, and more. Each class meets two days per week—choose Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays. The curriculum is the same for both classes. The first day of class, parents and their children stay together for an hour and a half, participating in a variety of activities that contribute to the development of your child's abilities and skills. Later we separate for an hour and the parents attend a class with a licensed parent educator where you'll be able to share your experiences and strengthen your knowledge about your child's development. The second day, the parents separate from the children. The parents have class in English, while the children participate in age- appropriate activities.
