Before even knowing how to speak Portuguese, children who attend bilingual nurseries already begin learning another language. In some institutions, all communication with babies from one to three years old is done in English. Educators point out that this is a time when learning a second language is facilitated by the still-forming brains of young children.
GLOBO launched the "Nursery Guide," a tool that brings together about 300 early childhood education schools in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The guide offers information such as tuition fees, schedules, location, infrastructure, and teaching methodology for each institution.
Among the bilingual schools listed in Rio de Janeiro are Maple Bear and Os Batutinhas, which offer instruction in Portuguese and English. In São Paulo, Red House International School also appears among the options with bilingual methodology.
Parents looking for bilingual school options for early childhood education can access the complete list of institutions in the Nursery Guide, which allows them to compare different schools and find the most suitable option for each child.
