Language Workshop for Childen @ Kids' World - Spring Quarter Starts Today!

The Language Workshop For Children at Kids' World winter quarter starts today! The Language Workshop For Children was developed by Mr. Francois Thibaut 36 years ago in New York City, N.Y. Through his research in early language acquisition in young children, he developed the Thibaut Technique®. This technique teaches young children (6 months to 12 years) a new language through age-appropriate tools such as vocabulary rich songs , visual aids, action play, structured games, and sentence building exercises in an emotionally supportive, language immersion classroom. Thibaut Technique® instructors are native language speakers that are trained to use space, sequence, body language, voice melody, emotion, and social interaction, among other tools. Call Rebeca Sedarski at (507) 261-9640 or visit our website at www.lwfc-kidsworld.com for class schedule, tuition and calendar information. The Language Workshop For Children at Kids' World is also offering Spanish lessons at the Rochester Athletic Club. Contact them at rochesterathleticclub.com for more class schedule information.
