We offer programs for children ages 3-14, with age-appropriate curricula for each developmental stage. Our classes are divided into three groups: ages 3-6 (Foundation), ages 7-10 (Expansion), and ages 11-14 (Mastery).
We currently offer Yoruba, Kiswahili, and Twi. Amharic is coming soon! Each language is taught by native speakers who bring authentic pronunciation and cultural knowledge.
No! Many of our parents don't speak the language their child is learning. We provide resources and tips for supporting your child's learning journey, regardless of your own language skills.
Perfect! Our programs are designed for heritage language learners starting from zero. We'll meet your child exactly where they are and build their confidence step by step.
Lessons range from 15-20 minutes for ages 3-6, 25-30 minutes for ages 7-10, and 30-45 minutes for ages 11-14. We keep younger learners engaged with shorter, activity-packed sessions.
Most students take 1-2 classes per week. You can choose a schedule that works for your family, with flexible options including weekday and weekend slots.
Life happens! You can reschedule missed classes with at least 24 hours notice. No-shows cannot be rescheduled, but we'll provide practice materials to help your child catch up.

Our three-pillar approach focuses on Listening, Speaking, and Reading skills. Each lesson combines these elements through games, stories, songs, and cultural activities tailored to your child's age and level.
Our educators use interactive props, songs, movement, and visual aids. We keep activities short and varied, and our teachers are experts at reading children's energy levels and adapting accordingly.
Absolutely! Language and culture are inseparable. Children learn through folktales, traditions, music, and cultural practices, making their language journey rich and meaningful.
Parents receive regular progress reports and can observe lessons. Our educators also provide tips for practicing at home and celebrate milestones with digital certificates.
All our educators are native speakers who have been carefully selected and trained in our methodology. They bring not just language expertise, but cultural knowledge and a genuine love for teaching children.
Yes! Once you find an educator your child connects with, you can request to continue with them. We believe consistency helps build strong learning relationships.
Our educators are experienced in working with shy children. They use gentle encouragement, start with non-verbal activities, and create a safe space where children feel comfortable making mistakes.
