Primary School Extracurricular Italian Course for Bilingual Children

Our extracurricular Italian course for bilingual primary school children is designed to help young learners strengthen, develop, and maintain their Italian language skills within a structured and engaging educational environment.

The programme follows the Italian school curriculum and is aligned with the educational guidelines established by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI). Through an immersive and carefully planned approach, children develop confidence in speaking, reading, writing, and understanding Italian, while also deepening their connection to Italian culture and identity.

We offer classes for different language levels, allowing each child to learn in a group suited to their age and linguistic ability. This ensures personalised progression and a supportive atmosphere where bilingual children can thrive.

Our course is intensive and structured to cover a full academic year, providing continuity and consistency in learning. The curriculum is designed to offer children a solid foundation in the Italian language through interactive lessons, creative activities, cultural projects, and age-appropriate educational materials.

Lessons are taught by qualified native Italian-speaking teachers experienced in bilingual education and language development. Our aim is not only to improve language proficiency, but also to create a positive and stimulating environment where children feel proud of their bilingual and bicultural identity.

Italian Language Course for Nursery and Reception Children

Our Italian language course for Nursery and Reception children is specially designed to introduce young learners to Italian in a natural, playful, and engaging way during the most important years of language development.

Created for bilingual children and families wishing to nurture an early connection with the Italian language and culture, the course follows an immersive approach inspired by the Italian educational curriculum and aligned with the guidelines of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI).

Through songs, storytelling, games, movement, creative activities, and sensory play, children are encouraged to develop listening and speaking skills in Italian while building confidence and familiarity with the language in a warm and supportive environment.

Classes are carefully planned according to the children’s age and language exposure, allowing both beginners and bilingual children to learn at their own pace. Our programme promotes communication, social interaction, and early literacy skills while fostering curiosity and enthusiasm for the Italian language and culture.

The course follows a structured yearly programme to ensure continuity and gradual progression, giving children a strong linguistic foundation from an early age. All lessons are delivered by qualified native Italian-speaking teachers experienced in early years and bilingual education.

At MammaMia, we believe that early exposure to language learning should be joyful, meaningful, and inspiring, helping children grow proud of their bilingual identity while developing valuable communication skills for the future.
