Park Kultury Nursery is a brand new, purpose built, English speaking Nursery School in the heart of the Khamovniki district, Moscow.
Children attending Park Kultury Nursery will follow a learning-focused curriculum based on the British Early Years Foundation Stage.
“We are so excited to create lifelong learners at Park Kultury who are curious, inquisitive, creative, imaginative and compassionate about the world around them. We want our little learners to love and live every day of their learning with us.”
At Park Kultury Nursery, we aim to give your child the smartest start. Park Kultury Nursery is committed to developing early language and communication skills, culture, creativity and curiosity in all of our learners.
We develop early language and communication skills in the English language. We will learn, explore and interact in English at all times.
We learn through play, exploring the world around them, asking questions and knowing ways in which to find the answers, looking beyond themselves and asking questions of others.
We nurture kindness and compassion through an understanding of where each classmate comes from, what language they speak and what makes them who they are.
We encourage children to use their imagination, attempt new challenges and take risks in their learning, express themselves and explore within a safe and nurturing environment.
By the end of the Early Years phase, children will have acquired skills and abilities in each of the seven areas of learning outlined in the British Early Years Curriculum.
Highly qualified and experienced English and native teachers deliver lessons every day during purposefully created sessions. Teachers will participate in child initiated play and engage alongside them providing commentary and conversation in English in order develop learning. The school environment supports all languages with visual labels and signs used consistently throughout the Nursery. Traditional books, games, art and music are used on regular basis to instill the cultural recognition in addition to the language.
The children who do not speak English when starting will be unaware of learning a second language, as this will be acquired unconsciously through their learning experiences.
Our teachers are aware of the importance of using descriptive and specific language and how language impacts a child’s thinking, whether in Russian, English or Chinese. Language is reinforced by simple signs, such as makaton. Language becomes the means to play, to communicate, to make friends and have fun.
While it is certainly possible to learn a language later in life, many studies have shown that there is a significant advantage for those who have had the opportunity to learn a second language from childhood. Research on cognition demonstrates that the human brain is more open to linguistic development in the years before adolescence. In this way, children who learn a language early are more likely to achieve native-like pronunciation.
Moreover, early language learning has proven to encourage cognitive and academic benefits beyond facility with languages. These advantages include increased mental flexibility, improved divergent thinking, and, some studies show, higher scores on measures of verbal ability in the native language.
Beyond the benefits of the language skills acquired, learning another language allows tremendous insight into other cultures. Today’s world language instruction goes well beyond rehearsing verb tenses. It teaches children about the art, literature, music, history and life in other countries. In learning about other countries and regions, children come to understand that different languages and cultures use different strategies of communication and they learn to understand subjects from multiple perspectives. They also develop a set of skills that enables them to adapt (code switch) between different cultural communication strategies, a skill that is useful in our diverse societies. Learning a second language therefore can benefit children even if they do not attain high levels of proficiency.
