Languages for Little Ones


 

Research indicates that there are multiple advantages in learning a foreign language at an early age. Through active learning, individualized attention, and cultural themes, BrightSteps offers little ones the lifelong gift of a foreign language.

 

Research Findings

“In addition to developing a lifelong ability to communicate with more people, children may derive other benefits from early language instruction, including improved overall school performance and superior problem-solving skills.”

-ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center)

"Students who have had at least four years of a foreign language tend to score higher on both the math and verbal portions of the SAT than those who don't"

-The College Board

“There is also a cultural advantage, as language and culture cannot be separated. Therefore, children are better equipped to be sensitive to differences in others, respond to different ways of social interactions, and carry traditional knowledge that is uniquely part of a particular culture.”

-Scholastic
