DREAMING OF NEVERLAND - THE BILINGUAL LAB

The Bilingual Lab was born to inspire children to embrace Italian (and other languages in the future) through stories, games, music, movement and making. We blend culture and language so learning feels like play—each session a mini-adventure that grows with families over time.

What makes us different?

-Play-first, language-rich: language emerges naturally through narrative, music, and hands-on creativity.

-Age-tailored pathways: baby, toddler, preschool and big-kid routes with goals that build year to year.

-Bilingual comfort: everything modelled visually and repeated in English when needed, so non-Italian caregivers feel at ease and can learn alongside their child.

-Creative missions: 3–4 week arcs with themed challenges, stickers, and small “graduations.”
