Brainstorm Tutoring Cerebritos Program (808 High Mountain Rd. Franklin Lakes, 201-847-8676) We always loved Brainstorm Tutoring for their In Home Tutoring and College Prep programs, but their just added “Cerebritos” Spanish Immersion Program for kids ages pre-K to K has us cheering ole! Founder and educator Scott Doty introduced the program so kids could learn Spanish through total immersion- which includes play and song so we have a feeling the kiddos are really going to love it. Three sessions a week is the recommended dose so kids can fully grasp the language.
Gainville Learning (17 Ames Avenue, Rutherford, (201) 507-1800)Gainville offers foreign language classes in Spanish, Italian and Arabic at their location in Rutherford. Kids and adults are both welcome to their casual cafe setting which allows for immersion opportunities and interactive music and play to help kids learn in a fun way.
The Language Workshop for Children (Christ Church Activities Room, Ridgewood) teaches both Spanish, Italian and French using original music, vocabulary-building songs, language immersion, festive visual aids, action games and native-fluent language teachers.
The French Academy of Bilingual Culture (FABC) (1092 Carnation Drive, New Milford, 201 338 8320)This bilingual grade school for grades pre K- 4th has been teaching children in French speaking classrooms since 2007. But for those who want their child to learn French outside the traditional classroom format, they offer an afterschool program open to the public. Through songs and fun activities, students are immersed in French for 1 ½ -2 hour classes organized by ability. Students 9 and over who become well versed in French can earn a DELF Junior diploma issued by the French Ministry to reward their hard work, Oui Oui!
