Italian Kids

We are an association of Italian-speaking parents who meet regularly to allow our children, pre-school and school aged- to make new friends, play, sing and practice Italian together.

We meet once a month. See when and where on our calendar page.

The aim of the group is to provide an environment where bilingual children can reinforce and learn Italian through play, songs, storytelling, arts, drama and language lessons. At the same time, Italian parents can get to know each other, sharing experiences, tips and suggestions, or just chat in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

The main purposes of our association, who begun its activities in 2006, are:

• To support the bilingual upbringing of children from Italian descent or with an Italian background;
• To promote the Italian language and culture;
• To be a support network for the Italian community.

The children are split into three age group, the Pre-school group (Puffi), Reception and Year 1 group (Indiani) and the Year 2 and above (Pirati).
