Our English speaking club for 2 to 5-year-olds is taught by an experienced, native English tutor. Your child does not need any English skills beforehand to attend the kindergarten club. In the club children will play, sing and learn simple everyday vocabulary in English, as well as some skills for school such as sitting in his/her own place and doing simple homework. Through our experience, we have come to the conclusion that 3 hours is an optimal time for a child at this age to learn. In the English Club your child will gain enough language competence to continue in our English-speaking pre-school.
