Learning a foreign language involves developing new linguistic skills, which can enhance cognitive abilities. Children who learn a second language tend to have better problem-solving skills, critical thinking abilities, and improved memory retention.

Exposing children to a foreign language at a young age can help them develop strong linguistic skills. It enhances their phonemic awareness, vocabulary expansion, and overall language proficiency. This can have a positive impact on their first language skills as well. 

Learning a foreign language is closely tied to understanding different cultures. Through language classes, children can gain exposure to diverse customs, traditions, and perspectives from around the world. This fosters cultural awareness, sensitivity, and respect for different ways of life. 

Over the course of a year, we use at least 100 different songs, rhymes and games with the children in each room, and many of these are familiar nursery rhymes.

Repetition is important for young children in that it aids neural development and helps them to become more comfortable and, therefore, more likely to take perceived risks. Bringing the same repertoire back from time to time ensures that the children are familiar enough with it that they can take ownership of it. We want children to be going home and teaching the songs, rhymes and games from music to their parents, or in the case of very young children, responding when their families use our repertoire to engage with them at home.
