Language School in Willamsburg Offers Mandarin Story and Music Program

30-minute, virtual story and music times will be offered in Mandarin at Brooklyn Global Prep beginning in April. These sessions will  introduce children ages pre-K to kindergarten to a new language, culture, and history in a natural and fun way. Exposing children to a foreign language at an early age results in better and easier fluency than learning later in life, according to an MIT study on cognition. All BGP  utilize language immersion, creative open spaces, nature, art, and music to foster happy, culturally diverse, and open-minded global thinkers. 429 Kent Ave., Williamsburg; brooklynglobalprep.com.
