Are you thinking about enroling your child in a summer day camp? Our Calgary Montessori preschool is offering an immersive Spanish summer camp that will ignite your child’s creativity, empathy, and passion for learning!
One of the main benefits of learning a second language at an early age is that children learn languages easier and faster. This is because, compared to adults and older kids, younger children have:
- More time to learn
- Less to learn
- Fewer inhibitions
- A brain designed for language learning

4 Benefits of Learning a Second Language as a Child
It’s never too early to begin learning a language. It’s an exercise that is fun, promotes healthy development, and helps your child develop many cognitive and social benefits that will last a lifetime.
If you are considering sending your child to a language summer day camp, such as the Explorar Mexico! summer day camp at our Calgary Montessori school, here are some of the benefits they will gain:
1. They’ll Gain a Head Start
Children who learn a new language before the age of 5 use the same part of the brain to acquire that second language that they use to learn their mother tongue. Younger children are also uninhibited by the fear of making mistakes, which is an obstacle for older beginners. This allows young children to learn faster and more effectively.
2. They’ll Develop a Deeper Connection to the Language
The length of time a student is able to devote to learning a language has a direct and positive correlation to cognitive development. The earlier they start learning a second language, the greater the opportunity they have to grow alongside the additional language and culture, developing a deeper connection as they grow older.
3. They’ll Develop Key Skills
Several studies have shown that learning a second language boosts key skills including problem solving, listening skills, and critical thinking. In addition to this, children proficient in other languages show signs of enhanced creativity and mental flexibility, as well as improved memory and concentration, and the ability to multitask.
4. They’ll Boost Their Academic Achievement
It has been shown that, compared to children who haven’t learned a second language, bilingual children have improved writing, math, and reading skills, and they tend to score higher on standardized tests.
5. They’ll Build Their Empathy and Tolerance
Young children who are exposed early to other languages tend to display more positive attitudes to cultures associated with those languages. The experience of learning a language will introduce them to people and different ways of living, that they might not otherwise experience. This will go a long way to building their understanding and tolerance towards individuals from other cultures.
