Children's Programs
ages 6 months - 3 years with a parent or caregiver
Our Adult & Me programs are the foundation of Per Tutti! Learning a new language together allows for extra fun and additional practice to occur beyond the classroom during this time when our children's brains are developing most rapidly. More often than not, the adults enjoy attending these classes just as much as the children do! Each class includes an interactive lesson followed by open play.

ages 3-12+ years
Studies suggest that near native proficiency is more likely to occur when acquiring language before 10 years of age and that grammatical components become more difficult to master after 18 years of age. Our after school programs introduce children to reading and writing in addition to play-based learning with interactive games and story telling. Using authentic Italian materials allows students to begin to have a better understanding of the language and culture.
