    Play-Based Immersion

    On a Path to Becoming Bilingual

    Designed especially for preschoolers, our play-based, immersion style sessions start children on an exciting journey to becoming bilingual. Children participate in small groups in weekly sessions in their chosen target language.

    These preschooler language lessons are delivered through fun activities and many already popular preschooler games , they're just in another language! Behind the fun appearance lies a carefully structured program specifically designed for preschoolers to learn a second language quickly and naturally.

    Each week new words and phrases are added and consolidated over the term. Our teachers use beautiful resources and lively sessions engage both the children and room teachers in each activity.

    Our programs are the perfect complement to the government's Early Learning Language Australia (ELLA) objectives , providing the human connection that apps alone cannot offer.

    Programs Targeted For

    Every Age From Birth to School

    "It is during the first eight years of life when the foundations for thinking, language, vision, attitudes and aptitudes are laid down." , Ronald Kotulak, Inside the Brain

    👶
    0 – 6 months

    Sensory sound exposure. Language rhythm and melody.

    🍼
    6 months – 2 yrs

    Action songs, rhymes and interactive games.

    🧒
    2 – 3 years

    Stories, songs and vocabulary building through play.

    🎒
    3 – 5 years

    Structured conversation, drama, role play and craft.

    Research proves that before age 6, children have a remarkable ability to absorb another language , even while still mastering English. As little as 1 hour per week of foreign language exposure has been shown to raise a child's IQ, cognitive function, vocabulary and self-esteem.

    What Centre Managers Say

    Heard From Centres Across Australia

    ★★★★★

    "I have spoken to the manager at the Annerley Centre following their first Spanish lesson this week and she is very complimentary of the new Spanish session. The teacher is lovely, she is very, very good. She can see a significant difference in the quality of the LCF program compared to their previous provider , it's wonderful feedback to have after only one session."

    Childcare Centre Manager
    Brisbane, Queensland

    ★★★★★

    "It is such a wonderful experience to see the children learning a language such as French. The minute the teacher walks in the door the children shout her name and are so eager. The parents are thrilled and amazed at how much their children have learned. The children pick up the language so quickly and never seem to forget what they'd learned the previous week."
