Kidslingo – Spanish and French skills for life
Kidslingo’s aim is to inspire young children, from birth to 12 years, to love languages from the very start of their language learning journeys.
Working with schools (curriculum classes and clubs) and nurseries, in community venues, private homes and online, Kidslingo is a passionate believer in exposing children to languages from a young age.
The multi-award-winning, CAA gold accredited language programme uses a fun and interactive methodology of songs, actions, rhymes, game play, storytelling and drama, all delivered by expert linguists.
Each week we are privileged to witness thousands of little ones enthusiastically embracing Spanish and French and developing amazing linguistic skills.
Learning a new language provides young children with a range of cognitive, social, and emotional benefits that contribute to their overall mental health and well-being. Benefits include:
- improvements to cognitive development such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and attention to detail – skills which have a positive impact on children’s academic performance.
- enhancement of self-esteem and confidence, gives children a sense of accomplishment and boosts their self-esteem and confidence. This helps children to feel more positive about themselves and their abilities.
- increase in social interaction and communication, helps children interact and communicate with a wider range of people, both in their own communities and beyond. This helps children feel more connected and engaged with others.
- enhancement to cultural capital and a wider world view, giving them the best possible start to their early education and supporting their roles as effective global citizens.

"I am amazed when Gracie comes out with French words at home, it’s very exciting ! And shows how much they can learn at such an early age."

"Language skills in early development comes naturally and easily, children are more capable of pronouncing unfamiliar sounds and absorb new grammar. For this reason this is why we feel that our children benefit from the Spanish sessions with Helen. It also contributes to them socially and boosts the confidence of some of the more quieter children."
Lucinda Rumble, Nursery Manager

“The programme is such an intuitive and interactive way for the children to learn another language. Our pupils are learning so quickly!”
