Our approach
Benefits of bilingual education:
1. When learned in childhood, a second language can be spoken with native-like pronunciation;
2. From an early age, it helps children develop stronger skills overall;
3. Higher IQ and learning levels than monolingual children;
4. Proficiency in both languages, without the need for formal second-language instruction;
5. Children who start learning English early also have better attention control, according to a recent study by Concordia University and York University in Canada and the Université de Provence in France.
The use of English in the classroom and throughout the school
English is part of everyday life at Kiddies World. Varied themes and activities help children make connections in context, with no need for translation. Our playful routine brings in the second language through real communication in English.
For children aged 2 to 4 (Kids II to Kids IV) there is full immersion in English, while 5-year-olds in Kids 5 follow a curriculum split 50% in English and 50% in Portuguese, as they begin learning to read and write.
Our curriculum follows the guidelines of Brazil's National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and National Curriculum Framework for Early Childhood Education, both from the Ministry of Education (MEC). In our bilingual program, learning a second language is enjoyable: our teachers are fluent and always build their lesson plans around our students' interests.
