Our Winter 2010 schedule is available online at our updated website: http://www.aiaworldplay.com/registration.htm.

“The earlier a child is exposed to another language the greater the likelihood that the child will become truly proficient in the language.” –  Myelita Melton, foreign language education publisher

 “I’m just providing an opportunity so they can do whatever they want, wherever they want. They won’t be bound by language.”- Julie Warrenfeltz, parent of three multilingual children

We are currently offering classes in Japanese, Italian, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish. Register by January 5th to secure your spot! 

SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION IS CRUCIAL FOR CHILDREN – much like exercise, music and art. Don’t discount the value of exposure to a new language!

Learning a foreign language opens up a whole new dimension. It has a positive effect on intellectual growth and it enriches and enhances mental development. Learning a foreign language is especially effective at an early age. It greatly benefits reading and writing in one’s own language; there’s evidence that, like musical education, it contributes significantly to the development of individual intelligence.
