Scarsdale | In 1973, few people thought of teaching a foreign language to very young children.
Yet LWFC Founder-Director François Thibaut recognized that only young minds are malleable enough to master a new language like a native speaker. | |  | The sooner a child is exposed to a second language the easier it is to learn |
The LWFC?s classroom materials won six major children?s educational media awards. | A second language means higher standardized test scores Speaking more than one language means better opportunities in life 
| The Language Workshop for Children's innovative and and proven thibaut technique® is set apart from the rest because it has been classroom tested for almost four decades. The LWFC's unique method successfully blends systematic exposure, language immersion, seasonally changing curriculum, colorful and entertaining materials, and special attention to voice and pace to nurture the individual child. Each session every lwfc student gets a brand new professional-grade LWFC Songs & More Workbook/CD Set filled with lots of original vocabulary-building words, melodies, and illustrations, plus kids age 3+ get an LWFC Storybook too! Founder-director François Thibaut works with songwriters, musicians, and illustrators to produce the lwfc's exceptional take-home materials. 
| The LWFC is not like any other program. - Our only mission is language education.
- Our only focus is children.
- Every native speaking teacher has been trained to use the LWFC's renowned Thibaut Technique.
- Classes are small enough for personal attention.

And the similarities and differences between the languages help her understand the sounds, the words, and the rules for putting sentences together. 'Plus, the more words a child hears by 2, the more her vocabulary will grow,' says Cindy Kennedy Reedy, a child-development specialist at Arcadia University, in Glenside, Pennsylvania. "These classes engage babies with short, language-based activities that incorporate song and dance."  "In Manhattan's Upper East Side, well-to-do parents line up around the block to enroll their infants and toddlers in François Thibaut's language classes."  "Students at The Language Workshop for Children respond to the lessons because they are fun. First they might be singing and moving around and, minutes later, be sitting and identifying cards and toys in French or Spanish."  "At French for Tots in Manhattan, François Thibaut teaches children how to speak French. His love of the children and enthusiasm for what he is teaching is legendary among New York parents."  "At The Language Workshop for Children teachers peak only the target language in their immersion preschols and the teacher never translates ..." |  "Early learning is thriving in New York. It sounds like beginner's French, the only difference is that the students have not yet learned how to speak. This is The Language Workshop for Children."  "Four year old Alexandra D. talks to her toy animals in Japanese. At snack time, she spontaneously shifts to French. Lindsay S. at age 8 shows an ability to carry on a basic conversation in French without the slightest English accent. Both have been students since the age of 2 at The Language Workshop for Children."  "And judging by a recent visit, they leave with a working vocabulary and an accent parents will envy. Thibaut uses action games so that youngsters learn to take direction in French, skits to sharpen communication skills, plus workbooks and tapes."  "Thibaut has spent his life developing his own series of children's classes (the Language Workshop for Children), teaching methods (the Thibaut Technique) and educational materials (the Professor Toto Language Education Series)." |  Find The LWFC Location Nearest You
