Bilingualism has been linked to many cognitive advantages and some of the benefits of sending your child to a bilingual nursery or kindergarten like Basic Steps & First Steps and starting with a second language so early, are:

Linguistics – Exposure so early will result in easier and better fluency because children are like “sponges” and their developing brains accept and soak up everything. After 8 years old, children begin to lose the ability to hear and reproduce sounds well, making language acquisition much more difficult;

Educational – They become better at planning, focusing, critical thinking, multi-tasking, problem solving, mind flexibility , mathematical skills, auditive and visual perception, memorising, learning other languages and gaining higher academic scores in tests;

Social – advantages in communication, better economic and employment opportunities, and a more accepting and understanding view of the world.
