Washington, DC – (Newsfile Corp. – June 1, 2022) – Communikids, the Washington DC and Virginia-based child development center announces its unique preschool service that revolves around bilingualism. Its ten-month program pays as much attention to the development of each child’s character and social outlook as it does to the academic aspect of the course.
After its creation in 2005, Communikids developed a unique educational system with bilingualism as its keystone. Its classes and camps are delivered through its unique “second language for early childhood” approach. This is underpinned by the idea that for children to have a well-rounded school career, they must be able to speak more than one language.
As Communikids co-founder and CEO Raul Echevarria points out: “Our preschool is designed to nurture three fundamental virtues in each of our students: a willingness to connect with people from different backgrounds; good knowledge of themselves and the world around them; third, the acquisition of skills that they can use to improve themselves and their environment. At Communikids, we believe that bilingualism is essential to cultivate these qualities.
Learning a language through the Communikids method involves complete absorption in the culture and traditions of the countries that speak the target language. This fosters an ability and willingness to connect with people from backgrounds different from their own.
Besides the social impact, having a second string to your linguistic bow can also have a variety of cognitive benefits. For example, multilingualism or bilingualism can help children improve their problem solving, multi-tasking and creativity. Moreover, becoming a polyglot from an early age can improve children’s working memory and increase children’s ability to flexible thinking, self-controland Warning.
At the heart of the Communikids preschool program are four pillars. First of all, it revolves around total linguistic immersion. For example, during Spanish lessons, children are exposed only to Spanish; it cultivates a rich and immersive experience and gives them the time they need to develop their language skills. Second, Communikids Preschool is play-based; all instructions are conveyed through fun and playful activities, such as role-playing and scenario building.
Third, the teaching staff strives to foster a warm and nurturing environment for all students. The relationships established between staff, students and families are essential to the overall learning experience at Communikids; especially when placed in an unfamiliar situation where the child only hears a foreign language, it is essential to create a comfortable and caring atmosphere. Fourth, the program is thematic with an orientation that transcends borders. Each year begins with the language around you before expanding to your family, your school, your community, your country, the world and finally the universe. Then the process refreshes as a new class begins, and this “looping technique” allows children to consolidate everything they learn each year. In addition, it allows children who enter along the way to be quickly brought up to date.
Communikids is in 8% of kindergartens who have received prestigious accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children. It also partners with the District of Columbia in Washington to provide three- and four-year-old residents with free preschool services.
As Raul Echevarria concludes, “Our teaching philosophy is based on the foundations of tolerance, solidarity and responsibility – we aim to transmit these same values to our students throughout our preschool classes. Emphasizing the importance of learning a second language facilitates this – not only does it improve a child’s ability to thrive in a multicultural society, but it also improves their overall cognitive and learning ability, by preparing for all the exciting paths that their school career takes them. ”
