Our Classes

Welcome to Little Talks—where language learning comes to life through play, song, and nature-based exploration. Our sessions are thoughtfully designed for children up to 5 years, with a strong focus on early exposure to a second language in a way that feels fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.

Whether you’re looking for a full-term program or a casual drop-in, we’ve got something for every little learner (and their grown-ups!).

  • 8-Week Programs

    Structured term-based classes that explore a different theme each week—colours, animals, food, and more—all through songs, stories, and sensory play.

  • Drop-In Sessions

    Perfect for families looking for flexibility. These sessions follow the same learning style but can be booked casually, great for trying things out or joining when your schedule allows.

How Our Classes Work

Each Little Talks session runs for 40 minutes and follows a gentle, consistent structure: we start with a welcome song and introductions, dive into our themed activity or nature-based play, enjoy a story or group song, and finish with a calm goodbye routine.

Our classes are designed for small groups (max. 8–10 children) to create a calm, connected environment where every child feels seen. Parents stay and join in, making it a special bonding time—and a great way to keep the learning going at home.

Mixed-Age Classes

At Little Talks, all our sessions are mixed-age classes designed for children up to 5 years—perfect for little ones who haven’t started school yet.

Why Mixed Ages?

We believe that children learn best from real-life interactions—and that includes learning from each other! Mixed-age classes create a more natural and nurturing environment where:

  • Younger children benefit from watching and imitating older peers
  • Older children develop confidence, empathy, and leadership skills
  • Siblings can attend together, making life easier for parents
  • The group feels like a little community, just like in Montessori settings

Our play-based structure ensures that every child, no matter their age or stage, finds something engaging, joyful, and just right for them.

Language Used in Class

All classes are run in English, with clear and supportive instructions for the language being taught (e.g. German, French, Spanish, Italian). Whether your child is growing up bilingual or has never been exposed to a second language before, our sessions are designed to be inclusive, playful, and easy to follow.

These classes are a wonderful way for bilingual families to reinforce their home language—and just as perfect for families who are completely new to it. Parents often pick up new words too, making it easy to practice together at home and keep the learning going beyond the class.
