"The first twenty-five years of research on infant speech perception have provided many surprises, especially with respect to the skills that are present during the earliest stages of infancy and the rapidity with which experience with a particular language helps to shape and refine these skills." P.231, The Discovery of Spoken Language, by Peter W. Jusczyk, 1997, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Your Baby's Brain

Babies have a unique ability to learn a foreign language... At 6 months, babies can discern the basic sounds of most languages,...

"After 12 sessions in a Mandarin playgroup, 9-month old American babies had learned to detect subtle Mandarin phonetic sounds that couldn't be heard by a separate group of babies who were exposed only to English."

Crucial Period in language Development

The Baby Phonics program has been designed and developed to provide rich language stimulation and exposure in English, French and Putonghua, all led by native speakers. Spanish and Japanese are also available. The focus of this cutting edge program is on the timely development of language capabilities instead of contents. Parents can enroll their children in one, two, three or more language playgroups.

Until now, this crucial period in language development has been misunderstood and overlooked. Working parents often have to leave their child in the care of helpers. This creates unforeseen problems. Close to 10% of babies in HK suffer from various degrees of retarded language development due to insufficient language exposure and stimulation during this period, resulting in irreversible permanent damage.
