Even before learning to speak Portuguese, children who attend bilingual nurseries already start learning another language. In some institutions, all communication with babies from one to three years old is done in English. This is a time when, according to educators, learning a second language is facilitated by the still-forming brains of young children.
Among the bilingual schools mentioned in the article are Maple Bear, in Rio de Janeiro, and Red House International School, in São Paulo. In São Paulo, Little People School and Colégio Petit are also cited, both offering education in Portuguese and English, as well as Lycée International Français.
The article mentions GLOBO's Nursery Guide, a tool that brings together about 300 early childhood education schools in the cities of Rio and São Paulo. The guide offers information such as tuition fees, schedules, location, infrastructure, and teaching methodology of each institution, allowing users to learn about various options of schools that offer this bilingual service.
