About Language stars
Our Company
At Language Stars we aim to provide quality language lessons for children up to 12 years of age, in Bexley borough.
Our vision is to enable children to access language learning in a fun way through exciting and varied activities such as songs, rhymes, games, crafts and stories. We encourage every child to fulfill their potential and help them to feel proud of their achievements. We will endeavour to ensure every child leaves the class feeling more confident about understanding and speaking a modern foreign language, as well as a desire to learn more. We passionately feel that the earlier children are exposed to language learning, the more likely they are to succeed.
Despite the government recommendation that all Key Stage Two children should have one hour of foreign language learning per week, the reality is that, due to the demands of the curriculum, many children are not receiving their full entitlement. We have established this company to address this issue and because studies have shown that there are many benefits to language learning, such as promoting better cultural understanding, increasing confidence and improving social and literacy skills.
