22、nguage Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English.

The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. “I think they sometimes speak French when they think ! wont understand them,“ said parent Foster Gibbons.Depending on the age group, classes run
