About

StudioLingua offers Italian language instruction, multi-cultural activities, play-based child led learning, and self-directed artistic activities. The program uses a Reggio Emilia-inspired, child-centered and hands-on learning style that includes work in an Atelier with a wide range of art materials and resources such as paints, brushes, clay, paper, fabrics, natural materials, and found objects. Children work individually or in small groups, sharing ideas, techniques, and inspiration, with a focus on the journey of creating rather than the final outcome in projects.

The program operates in a bilingual environment with Italian language immersion and emphasizes teamwork and communication. StudioLingua states that its mission is to provide a safe and nurturing bilingual environment for children to explore, grow, and learn, and to create an immersive and inclusive Italian preschool experience that supports language acquisition and a multicultural worldview. The program is recognized by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
