Children's Class Descriptions

We ask that parents pick up children promptly when the class is over. There are other programs that immediately follow these children's classes and we need time to clean up and set up for them. Thank you for your cooperation.

Parent & Child (Ages 2-4)
This class is for children who have little or no experience with English. Parents attend this class with their children and play an important part in helping their children learn English. Children learn English through songs, finger plays, art projects, and games. The first 20 minutes of class will be for play and informal interaction in English. The remaining time will include formal instruction and corresponding activities.

Pre-Kindergarten thru First Grade (Ages 4-6 1/2)
This class is for children of preschool, kindergarten, and first grade ages. Basic English vocabulary and U.S. culture will be taught through songs, art projects, games, and other activities. Listening and speaking skills will be emphasized, but basic reading and writing will also be included. PLEASE NOTE: If your child is only four years old and has had little experience attending preschool, we recommmend that you attend the Parent & Child class with your child first, before registering him/her in this class.


Afterschool Workshop for Kids & Teens
This workshop is for children in 2nd through 5th grades, as well as for middle and high school-aged students. It is designed to accommodate all levels of English language ability (beginning, intermediate, and advanced). The teacher will assess each student's language level and needs. Elementary-school-aged children will be in a different group from middle and high school-aged students. The students will participate in various individual and group activities to practice and improve their English in fun, interesting, and creative ways. They can also receive some help with their homework from school.
