The more globalized a world is becoming, the more precious language skills become. As a parent, you want the best for your little ones, and one of the best ways to prepare your children for the successful future you want for them is to immerse them in a dual language immersion preschool program.
At L’Academy , we believe early exposure to language helps to foster curiosity and love for learning. Let’s dive into this exciting world of language immersion for toddlers and learn how it can help enrich a child’s life.
Research in recent years has found that learning a new language or second language can enhance the cognitive skills of preschool-age children. In dual language immersion, critical thinking , problem-solving, and multi-tasking abilities are developed.
As toddlers learn to switch between two languages , they also become much more adept at complex concept understanding and relating different ideas.
In a dual language immersion preschool, your child learns not only the words but also the cultures involved. Exposure in this way instills an appreciation for diversity, even as it teaches and helps them understand and respect other backgrounds.
At L'Academy, we celebrate cultures through stories, music, art, and much more that weave a richness of experience your child will carry with them into their adult life.
Children who have more than one language will become better communicators. They learn to express themselves more effectively to the audience. Such a technique is required in today's life, where proper communication is important for all personal as well as professional life
As our world is becoming more interconnected, speaking two or more languages is an excellent advantage. Many employers look for an individual who can communicate in more than one language, which makes bilingualism a valuable asset in the job market.
When you send your toddler to preschool and immerse him or her in a dual language program, you are setting them on a path toward greater opportunities in the future.
Our dual language immersion program at L'Academy has been thought of with the child's growth in mind. And this is what you are expecting.
Our curriculum is designed to be fun and interactive. We use songs, games, stories, and real activities to teach both languages in a playful way. Toddlers are kept engaged by interacting during the process, where new vocabulary is absorbed and learned naturally without effort.
Our teaching faculty is passionate about language teaching. They are fluent in both languages and create a comfortable atmosphere where children can express themselves and learn from their mistakes.
Our belief is that trust is the key to confidence, and the teachers work towards helping every child shine.
L'Academy ensures that class sizes are kept small so that every child gets the needed attention he or she requires to grow. This approach enables instruction to be personalized and enough toward each child's needs, thus allowing a process of growth at their own pace.
We understand that parents play a significant role in the life of their child. In L'Academy, we also involved parents in the activities of their children through workshops, events, and by following up regularly.
We believe in a partnership between parents and educators that does better in creating an enabling learning environment for children.
Dual language immersion for toddlers is more than just acquiring vocabulary. It enhances general development in several ways:
1. Social Skills
Once a child engages in dual language activities, they learn to communicate with individuals in their immediate surroundings. Such experience builds social skills from cooperation, empathy, and possible conflict resolution among children.
A child also learns how to handle friendships in both languages, which further develops his or her social skills .
2. Emotional Growth
Learning a new language can be challenging, but with patience, it can be learned. Since toddlers have to overcome the linguistic barrier of a new language, they become more confident about their abilities.
The feeling of success in that challenge develops a growth mindset about any challenges they may face in the future.
3. Creativity and Imagination
We believe that creativity is a part of holistic development. Generally, dual language immersion programs will involve creative arts like music, dance, and visual arts. Such activities encourage imagination and creativity for toddlers so that they can express themselves in various ways.
As a parent, you are one of the most important language developers to your child. Here are some easy yet supportive tips for language immersion at home:
1. Read Together
Reading books in both languages can reinforce the learning of your preschool child. Choose stories with interesting themes and new vocabulary and concepts, and encourage them to ask questions about the story.
2. Establish a Language-Rich Environment
Surround your child with both languages by naming objects around the house, listening to music, and watching age-specific programs in both languages. These exposures will help reinforce their learning in a fun and enjoyable way.
3. Practice Conversations Every Day:
Involve your child with your daily activities like mealtime or playing time to practice the two languages. Simple conversations about what they did at preschool and what they see outside can strengthen the language skills of your child.
4. Be Patient and Encouraging:
It takes time and practice to learn any new language. To keep motivated, celebrate your child's smallest achievements and give him encouraging words to pursue more.
Some of the parents think that a child learning two languages will either get confused or develop language late.
However, studies have shown that the child is perfectly able to handle learning two languages without their development being affected.
In fact, bilingual children often become better at understanding how two languages work, and slight delays in speaking are temporary. At L'Academy, we see language immersion for toddlers to be of great value as it enables them to develop strong language skills both in their native language and the second one.
Many of our students become fluently bilingual by the time they are ready to enter kindergarten, better preparing them for future learning.
Introducing your child to a dual language immersion preschool can bring incredible lifetime benefits. Other than helping brain development, such programs will help young children improve their social abilities, especially understanding and working with a culture.
At L'Academy, our engaging, fun, and supportive program leads the child not only to learn a second language but also to thrive in a bilingual environment.
If you are ready to give your child the gift of bilingualism, contact L'Academy today to learn more about our language immersion program for toddlers. We look forward to welcoming your family into our community!
