There is no better way to encourage our children to learn Italian than to have playdates with other Italian speaking families.
Playgroup - Tuesdays 16:00
In September 2006 we started an Italian playgroup for toddlers (2-6).
It has now developed into a solid group of kids who meet regularly family homes or Marin Parks speaking in Italian.
