Language Stars, the leading provider of early childhood foreign language education, is a rapidly growing educational organization that offers play-based, full immersion foreign language programs in Spanish, Mandarin, French, German and Italian for children ages 1-10. We currently teach 6,000 students each week, helping them move toward proficiency in a foreign language, build cognitive skills and have fun at the same time! Our dynamic, native-speaking teachers immerse our students 100% in the target language through our FunImmersion® curriculum, comprised of games, music & movement, art projects and many other engaging activities. We focus on a young child's "Window of Opportunity" to absorb a foreign language naturally, and we track the progress of each child. We offer our FunImmersion® programs in 10 Language Stars language centers, 8 satellite centers and over 100 public and private schools in the Chicago and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas. We have plans for additional nation-wide expansion.
