What is an Immersion Playgroup?

Research shows that the earlier you expose a child to another language, the easier it is for the child to become bilingual and fluent in that language – and with a more native accent! (Not to mention the many cognitive and social benefits of learning another language.)

Immersion Playgroups are designed for kids ages 1-3 and their caregivers. They provide an opportunity for a child and his/her caregiver to interact with a CSL teacher and with one another through age-appropriate and engaging songs, movements, books, games, and crafts, all in the target language.
