Kids&Us Milano Porta Romana - Inglese per Bambini

I only went to pick up a niece's book, but they have excellent treatment.

I entered a Kids & Us school four years ago, to spend an hour of fun with my two-year-old daughter on the occasion of an open day: the school has such a beautiful, colorful and welcoming appearance that I was wary of the contents, I thought , as in analogous methods, that the children would be placed in front of nice and useless cartoons, or trained to count to ten to make the parents happy. Quite the contrary. The methodology is extraordinary, both on the didactic and pedagogical level: the child learns the structures and makes them his own, not only the lexicon, but the first syntax, without translating from his own language. When translating from Italian, children will never say "yes thank you", because they have repeated "yes please" in many different situations, and therefore have now learned the correct form, typical of a native speaker. The very effective materials, characters studied year by year to follow the evolutionary stages of the child, who immediately empathizes with his friend character. The songs, to be listened to every day, are exceptional, the children hum them around the house. To date, all three of my children attend the different classes, really from 1 year up! The youngest, 1 year and a half, attends Mousy: she still does not speak her mother tongue, but she says almost the same number of words in English, and above all she understands the excellent teacher, she manages to be attentive and curious sitting on a pillow for 45 minutes, enraptured by Montessori-inspired games and activities. Between the ages of two and three, my second child in the course Linda learned with the bunny Bunny how to remove the diaper, changing and washing Bunny, and today she says wee wee in the toilet! O Let's go! When he wants to go out. On my eldest daughter I see the effects of three years of course, she pronounces phonemes that we parents, although graduates from an English-speaking university, do not have, she understands that English is another language and knows how to choose when to use it. She has fun with the memory games and the adventures of Emma, ​​a girl like her, four years old, or rather as my daughter says ALMOST FIVE! We perceive that behind these games with English there is a huge amount of work on the method and also of study by the teachers, who at Kids & Us Milano Porta Romana are amazing (and I say this as a teacher). Children feel welcome as in family, they face the first detachment from mothers in the middle of the Linda course (but already in the Mousy course they learn to detach every 2 minutes from the game or character that is placed in their hands for the time needed for their concentration, and already this type of separation is far from obvious at that age and assumes confidence in the next game and a sense of discipline in some way) and the teachers know how to manage the emotional part and learning. The environment is also splendid, always clean, warm, full of smiles, of the staff and also of the other parents, nannies and grandparents, who feel they are giving their children a precious gift.
