Kiswahili (Swahili)

Your child was born ready to learn. Every second their brain forms over a million new connections. Simple, everyday activities with you, help to make these connections strong. Talk, sing, play and read together everyday to give them the best start. 

Language is a bridge to culture so by sharing your home language, you can help your child form a strong sense of identity and belonging. Learning multiple languages at the same time does not delay a child’s speech development. In fact, it can help children learn English faster and more easily through enhanced concentration, memory, creativity and an understanding of how language works.
