Program

A joyful beginning with Polish

Our Early Polish Language Program gives children ages 3–5 a warm and playful introduction to the Polish language. Designed for children from Polish-speaking, bilingual, and mixed-language homes, the program welcomes both children who already understand some Polish and those who are just beginning to learn.


Children develop their listening, speaking, and early literacy skills through stories, songs, movement, art, imaginative play, games, and hands-on activities. Polish is naturally woven throughout each class, allowing children to learn at their own pace while building confidence, friendships, and a positive connection to their Polish heritage.


Throughout the school year, learning will be enriched through music instruction, seasonal celebrations, special activities, outings, and school-wide events. Activities will be adapted to the children’s age, language ability, and individual readiness, with plenty of repetition, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play.

What Children Will Experience Throughout the Year

Stories, Language &
Early Literacy

Children build vocabulary, listening comprehension, and early literacy skills through picture books, storytelling, rhymes, conversation, sound play, and age-appropriate pre-reading activities. Children are gently encouraged to understand and use Polish at their own pace.

Creative Play, Art &
Discovery

Art, sensory play, imaginative activities, games, and hands-on projects give children meaningful opportunities to use Polish naturally. These activities also support creativity, social development, fine-motor skills, curiosity, and problem-solving.

Music, Movement &
Polish Culture

Songs, rhythm, dance, and musical games make language learning joyful and memorable. Dedicated music instruction, cultural activities, seasonal traditions, and celebrations will be incorporated throughout the school year.

Learning Materials for School and Home

Children receive carefully selected textbooks and a custom workbook suited to their Polish-language ability and learning readiness. Both are used during class and at home to reinforce vocabulary, reading, writing, and communication skills. Materials are selected according to ability and readiness rather than age alone.

Textbooks

The “Uczę się czytać” series provides structured practice in Polish reading, writing, vocabulary, and comprehension. The textbooks are used during lessons and at home, combining stories, exercises, and practical activities that help children build literacy skills in Polish.

Workbook

Our custom workbook reinforces the themes and skills introduced in class. Children use it during lessons and continue selected activities at home, helping them practise vocabulary, reading, writing, and everyday communication with family support.

Outcomes

Throughout the year, children will build Polish vocabulary, listening comprehension, confidence in speaking, early literacy skills, creativity, and social connections. Most importantly, they will develop a positive and lasting relationship with the Polish language and culture.
