I want to implement GLP in my center
When we talk about English for children from 1 to 7 years old, in Great Little People, we think about the phases of acquiring English for children depending on the time of the girl or boy. They all have different personalities and different ways of learning.
Children learn everything through play, in a sensory, symbolic, dramatic and constructive way. Babies start to understand a language twice as quickly as they speak it, so it's important that they hear the language even if they can't speak it. They receive the stimuli around them without conditions, they are natural gifts. At three years old, a baby's brain is twice as active as that of an adult.
Until they are seven years old they are able to understand what you explain to them and they will put it into practice. This is the most effective phase since the child is not yet prejudiced and enjoys learning English through play, in a sensory way and thanks to their curiosity.
Reinforcing language learning at home will help your child do it naturally. Putting videos in English, readings in English for children or songs before bed, we will make it part of your usual environment.
At GREAT LITTLE PEOPLE we have created our own songs to reach the senses of each child. Here are some others songs in English for children who will help you:
Learning English from an early age is important and if you can combine it with reading, your baby will develop better. In this phase, your language skills for the future will be defined. You can use yarns with illustrations and drawings that help visually. Here are some books for learning English:

The Very Hungry Caterpillar— Eric Carle

We're Going on a Bear Hunt — Michael Rosen
This narrative contains many repetitions, allowing children to participate in it with the words they know. Great fun to make gestures while reading or when visiting places like those in history, such as “swishy swashy grass” [“the long pastures: suish, suash!”] or the “squelchy squerchy mud” [“the thick, sticky mud: plochi, plochi, plop!”].
