"[François Thibaut] is one of a very few experts in teaching languages to small children."

Foreign Language: The Language Workshop For Children
Learning a second language enhances a child's awareness of her primary one. And the similarities and differences between the languages help her understand the sounds, the words, and the rules for putting sentences together. ‘Plus, the more words a child hears by 2, the more her vocabulary will grow,' says Cindy Kennedy Reedy, a child-development specialist at Arcadia University, in Glenside, Pennsylvania. These classes engage babies with short, language-based activities that incorporate song and dance."
Parents Magazine

"Four year old Alexandra D. talks to her toy animals in Japanese. At snack time, she spontaneously shifts to French. Lindsay S. at age 8 shows an ability to carry on a basic conversation in French without the slightest English accent. Both have been students since the age of 2 at The Language Workshop for Children."
Better Homes and Gardens

"In Manhattan's Upper East Side, parents line up around the block to enroll their infants and toddlers in François Thibaut's language classes."
The Wall Street Journal

"Students at The Language Workshop for Children respond to the lessons because they are fun. First they might be singing and moving around and, minutes later, be sitting and identifying cards and toys in French or Spanish."
Associated Press

"At French for Tots in Manhattan, François Thibaut teaches children how to speak French. His love of the children and enthusiasm for what he is teaching is legendary among New York parents."
The New York Times

"Early learning is thriving in New York. It sounds like beginner's French, the only difference is that the students have not yet learned how to speak. This is The Language Workshop for Children."
BBC USA Direct News

"And judging by a recent visit, they leave with a working vocabulary and an accent parents will envy. Thibaut uses action games so that youngsters learn to take direction in French, skits to sharpen communication skills, plus workbooks and tapes."
New York Magazine

 
 

PARENTS COMMENTS:
"It is the only program of its type that approaches language so naturally at such a young age. Mr. Thibaut really cares about the children. It shows, and they can feel it. Mr. Thibaut makes sure there are no competitive feelings in the class. Everyone gets a chance to excel."
Mrs. Nerlino

"There is simply no other program like this ... I very much like the fact that the kids are not aware of how much they are learning. It all happens naturally, without their knowledge. Mr. Thibaut assumes that kids are
capable of learning, and they immediately rise to his expectations. His methods take them directly to proper speech."
Mrs. Gale

"We couldn't be happier with French for Tots. The program gave our child something he could really sink his teeth into and challenged his intellectual curiosity. Language has become a play toy for him now. I think French forTots is the right choice for parents who care in a very deep way about their children. Mr. Thibaut is a unique and terrific teacher."
Mrs. Biederman

"As you know this was Jackie's first exposure to Spanish .. she loved the songs (she sang them every night while she was supposed to be sleeping)."
Mrs. Wagner

"I see how eager the children in the class are to learn. For them, learning French is play. I am a physician, and I know when the brain develops fastest. When children learn language early, they grasp concepts easier and their pronunciation is perfect. That is why I am sending my children to French for Tots."
Dr. Wilczeski

"A professionally run, well-rounded program."
Mrs. Shapiro

"Having tried two other "french playgroups for children," I can say with no hesitation that there is no program that can possibly compare with the LWFC. This is the only school that has exposed my child to another
language in a way that she can retain."
Mrs. Siegel
