Bilingual Learning

Studies have shown there many benefits to the exposure of a second language in early childhood beyond the acquisition of the language itself. Bilingual children have demonstrated increased problem-solving abilities, better working memory and improved capacity for abstract thinking. Having the opportunity to experience a foreign language environment also expands children’s multi-cultural awareness, stimulates their curiosity about other parts of the world and fosters an appreciation for multiple points of view. At Natura ECD we encourage both Spanish and Portuguese through a variety of kid’s songs (Music & Movement) and books (story time).
