When we were little - if you remember - it wasn't through grammar rules and memorising words that we learned to understand and use our mother tongue. We listened to Mum, Dad, Mummy, Daddy, imitated them, listened to what was happening around us, smelled, wanted to taste everything. For a baby, this is the natural process of learning about the world. In the first months, newborn babies acquire a huge amount of knowledge, as this is when the brain's capacity is at its highest. Between the ages of 0-3-7, babies can learn anything - up to 11 foreign languages.

Helen Doron's focus on babies was not in vain when she developed this method. Based on a number of scientific approaches, our Baby's Best Start course is designed to develop the child - and the parent - in a complex way, in addition to laying the foundations for learning English.

Let's look at what we mean by all this:

Research has shown that when communicating, it is more important to know the rhythm of speech and the specific pronunciation of the language than to speak grammatically correct. Since hearing is the first sense we develop and languages are first encountered through hearing, it also serves as the basis for a baby course. The course's songs, sayings and the teacher-parent interactions themselves are all designed to stimulate babies' hearing as much as possible. Helen and her team have drawn inspiration from cultures around the world in writing the songs, so that little ones are unobtrusively introduced not only to the English language, but also to different and unique melodies.

 

 

Babies are curious and interested, because everything around them is new. By harnessing the power of novelty, the other senses - sight, smell, touch and taste - also give babies a unique experience, which is always good for their brains and bodies.

They also become more aware of their own bodies, as they are stimulated by the use and movement of different parts of their bodies, and by rocking in different directions. The most important thing is to develop their own body awareness, because only then can they really explore their little environment, once they are aware of their own body patterns and directions, and know which body parts are for what.

 

In addition, we teach them to use confident, expressive body language and baby sign language.

 

This is crucial before speech emerges, as babies can use them to communicate, express emotions and wishes. Parents also get help in understanding their baby, listening and interpreting what the baby is trying to say - because babies are constantly communicating with us.

A special course to make English a natural part of your life. Plus, it gives you lots of stimulating and sensory-rich ideas on how to play and engage with your baby at home in a way that will help him or her to develop best emotionally, intellectually, linguistically and humanly. The course will also take the parent-child relationship to a unique level as you experience the lessons together, gaining defining experiences.

 

So we offer not only the joy of learning English, but a myriad of useful things that help your children become exceptional human beings.
