Shining Stars

Here are some example

14 months to 3 years

We use a range of wonderful materials andhave many ways to entertain young children,
even absolute beginners!

Level: Complete beginners to native English speakers.
Our Shining Stars are at the very beginning of their English language journey and they learn best through exploration, repetition of activities and continuity. Their programme consists of fun themes and tasks involving sensory
stimulation and lots of art/music. They learn English vocabulary that is useful to them and early phonics/maths asfoundation subjects. We provide them with great classes each week and an action-packed environment!
Shining Stars’ lessons are short, varied, and designed to keep young
children’s attention and enthusiasm high. We use a mini-preschool
syllabus with emphasis on building basic language, and English
language learning as a second/foreign language (ESL).
