Group Classes Are a Great Way to Begin Their Italian Learning Journey

In Italian group classes for children, our instructors create curriculum for children to learn Italian through a range of fun activities. Studies show that children are more receptive to learning through singing, playing games, storytelling and dancing.

Italian classes for kids emphasize a foundational approach by focusing on enriching their vocabulary first. This allows students to gradually build sentences one step at a time, fostering a sense of accomplishment as they communicate more effectively.

As they become comfortable with these basic skills, they will transition into more advanced topics, such as grammar, reading, and writing. This structured progression not only helps solidify their understanding of the language but also enables them to refine their abilities and achieve greater fluency. By the end of the levels, students will have a well-rounded grasp of Italian language, empowering them to express themselves with confidence in various contexts.

We teach our children about diverse forms of art and the beauty that Italy has to offer. 

Our little ones are the beating heart of Collina Italiana, where we love to watch them master the language and fulfill their souls with Italian beauty, culture and heritage. We offer a range of classes by both age and level.
