BILINGUASING
Founded in 2013 by former language teacher Ellie Baker, BilinguaSing is the UK’s only carefully crafted music-led programme for teaching languages to babies and children from birth to 11 years.
Children learn best when they don’t realise that they’re learning, our multi-award winning Spanish classes combine music with language learning in a way that’s fun – both for children and their grown-ups!
BilinguaSing is also a fully holistic, multi-sensory experience, which means that we always include lots of sensory play to further boost their brain development and learning.
Rainbow Rhymes Class
Music is a great learning tool, which can be utilised in many areas of life. Rainbow Rhyme music classes are deigned to bring you and your little ones a live musical experience and ignite the musical spark that we are all born with!
In our Rainbow Rhymes baby & toddler classes, we sing songs old and new, explore & play with lots of fascinating percussion instruments from around the world and listen to live performances every week on guitar, ukulele, violin, flute & sax to name a few.
We base our sessions on popular Early Years themes such as Animals, Colours, Transport, Seasons, Weather with special sessions for religious/non religious festivals such as Bonfire Night, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and Diwali.
Makaton
Makaton serves as a versatile communication tool, originally originating in the UK but now globally embraced. It employs signs to complement spoken language, particularly benefiting non verbal children and children with communication challenges.
Utilised throughout our nursery, it fosters inclusivity, bridging communication gaps and enhancing understanding among children, caregivers, teachers, and peers. At Ladybird Montessori, our dedicated staff are trained in Makaton and we’re equipped to guide parents towards resources and workshops for their own sign language learning.
