Sydney’s Best Bilingual Daycare Centres
- Preschoolers
Did you know that children possess a critical timeframe when it comes to language acquisition and learning new languages? Studies have shown that children are veritable geniuses at learning new languages up until the age of 7, and then there is a considerable decline that makes it much harder.
So if you have dreams of your child being able to fluently speak two languages, the evidence suggests that the earlier you start them, the more successful they will be.
