In the LWFC’s renowned Le Club
des Enfants French, El Club de los Niños Spanish and
Il Club dei Bambini-Italian Summer Enrichment Programs, 3
to 9 year olds discover a new language in bright, sunlight-filled,
child-friendly worlds of language immersion movement, language-rich
songs, play lessons, baking, arts, crafts, projects, birthday
parties, theme and costume days, and more! LWFC native-speaking
teachers use the LWFC renowned “Thibaut Technique”
to capture a child’s prime time to absorb language and
imitate native pronunciation. Director François Thibaut
believes that, “children remember the words that make
them happy,” so his programs are lively and stimulate
emotion. LWFC Summer runs from June to August. Parents select
any 2 to 10 weeks for 2, 3 or 5 days a week. CNN called François
Thibaut “one of a very few experts in teaching languages
to small children.” The LWFC’s School Year Programs
include: Languages for Tots®, Languages for Children,
and Language Immersion Preschool in French, Spanish, Chinese
and Italian for ages 6 months-9 years. The LWFC has been profiled
in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Parents, People,
CBS, NBC, the BBC, Univision, Telemundo and CNN. LWFC learning
materials have received the I-Parenting, Parent’s Choice,
NAPPA, Homeschool.com, Family Choice and Creative Child awards.
