Language Immersion

A fun, interactive story-time in your child’s native language.

These family-friendly sessions bring together songs, stories, and hands-on activities, thoughtfully designed for non-English-speaking families with little ones (0–36 months).

Korean Story-time

Miss Jenny offers a family-friendly program of songs, stories and hands-on activities that is specially designed for Korean-speaking families.

Miss Jenny is a mom of one toddler and has over 10 years of experience teaching in elementary schools. She believes that children learn language best through play, repetition, and shared experiences with caring adults. Research shows that early exposure to additional languages can support the development of early literacy – especially when learning occurs in a developmentally appropriate, joyful, and low-pressure environment.

Each session introduces Korean through shared picture books, simple songs, movement, and familiar routines. Children are invited to listen, participate, and explore at their own pace, alongside their caregivers. Rather than focusing on memorization or fluency, Korean Storytime emphasizes exposure, enjoyment, and connection—allowing language to be absorbed naturally over time.

We welcome families of all backgrounds, including Korean and bilingual families, as well as those who are simply curious about another language and culture. This program supports early literacy, cultural curiosity, and strong caregiver-child bonds.

Jenny is excited to share songs, stories, and playful learning with babies and tots!
