I am continually amazed by this school!  I have 3 children, and 2 of them participated in the Mandarin program and are now able to count to 200 and name the different colors, body parts, animals and foods!  The games, music and differing stimuli all aid in learning a language and making it more fun than tedious memorization.  The children were excited to get in the car each day and tell me what they learned, eagerly showing off their artistic endeavors as well (mediums like painting, colored pencils, sculpture, architectural buildings were a few of the projects). The next session, 2 of my children did French and one of them did Spanish.  They loved their weeks at this school, and I loved hearing them speak confidently in different languages.  To be able to converse with them in French and Spanish without having them afraid to make mistakes, was wonderful.   For years, our family has traveled to countries that speak French and Spanish, and the children have always been too shy to try to attempt to speak.  Now, they ask questions and answer questions easily, and with manners in these languages, as well!   Thank you Ms. Aga for the most wonderful weeks at camp!  The children can't wait to go on to new special destinations with the gift of language that you have given them!  Your teachers were always kind, fun, humorous and delightful.  They never pandered to the children and by the middle of the week, from my observation, most of the instruction seemed to be coming forth in the foreign language - yet the children seemed to understand what to do and how to respond, happily and without hesitation! The facility was spotless and well-organized, and lunches were sent from home and peanut-free to guard against any possible allergic reactions.  The camp was excellently run by a loving, nurturing staff that felt like family.  We will definitely be back next summer! read more

If you're looking for a vibrant language immersion environment with caring, expert instructors, I highly highly recommend Kids Language Art. My children, a feisty five year old boy and his pragmatic 8 year old sister/mama (LOL!), had the fantastic opportunity to attend camp this summer at Kids Language Art, and it far surpassed my expectations. I cannot say enough good things about the director, Ms. Aga, and my children's Spanish language instructor in addition to the staff. My feisty little guy needed extra TLC due to his high five year old energy and the staff met him where he was - they had games, lessons, and one-on-one time all in Spanish to support my son's needs. My daughter was equally supported by instructors who made it clear they love what they do. They were kind and helpful, but also expert at challenging my daughter a bilingual speaker. Both of my children come from a bilingual school and Ms. Aga was able to make sure they received differentiated instruction while managing a class of all different language levels and ages. It was truly a pleasure for my kids and for me as a parent. We shall definitely return! Also, Ms. Aga is looking to expand and offer programs in schools. I'm hoping my kids' school will give the program an opportunity; however, if that does not work out, she has been willing to find an instructor to give my children private lessons after school. We're excited by this opportunity at well! Many many kudos to Kids Language Art! If you have an interested in adding a language immersion program to your child's school please reach out. I know Ms. Aga would love to talk with you and I'm happy to answer any questions as a parent. read more

As a working mom, one of my biggest concerns has always been ensuring my child is in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment after school. KLA has not only met but exceeded my expectations in every way. My son started KLA in kindergarten and is now in first grade, and the growth he has experienced is truly remarkable. He is learning French language and culture, receiving excellent academic support, and went from not reading to reading well above his grade level. The structure and support provided have helped him excel in school, but what truly sets this program apart is the love and dedication of the team. The KLA team genuinely care for the children, creating an atmosphere where they feel valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. Every moment he spends in the program is time well spent, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact it has had on him. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a warm and supportive environment! read more

Kids Language Art is an amazing camp! They have many variety language programs with plenty of art, music and creativity activities incorporated. Kids learn foreign languages by doing activities and interacting with each other and the instructor. We signed for one week of a Mandarin summer camp but in the forth day of the camp, my son who is usually a very reserve and shy person, started responding to the instructor in "mandarin!" Each day he was waking earlier and earlier to get ready for the summer camp as he told me "to not be late because so many things he wants to do at the camp." The whole week, he was excited and eager to go to Kids Language Art. I have not seen him that happy and excited in any other summer camps that he went to. Thank you to all folks at Kids Language Art! Great job! We will be back the next year! read more

So good, I created an account for the express purpose of writing this review! Hands down, KLA is the finest child-focused language school in Northern Virginia. What separates KLA from its competition is the attention to details, such as an immaculately clean and well-designed facility; the quality materials used for instruction, and the individual attention to every child. The proprietor, Ms. Aga, always warmly welcomes my three-year-old son every week, and ensures he is comfortable and ready for his French class. As a result, my son has quickly amassed a large baseline vocabulary, and I expect him to assemble sentences by the end of the year. We are very fortunate to have found KLA and recommend them without hesitation. This is what education should and can be. read more

This is a fantastic program. Our two children, ages 5 and 7, attended the Reggio Explorer summer camp and loved it. While it was focused on STEM, we also wanted our children to get exposed to languages so Aga the owner integrated them into the French class in the mornings. By the end of the week, they were excited and confident in speaking their new french words. The counselors were warm, fun and engaging and my kids loved every minute of it. Aga, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable about child development and does a great job assessing each child's capabilities and strengths so that they are exposed to exactly the right classes and materials. We cannot say enough good things about the school, the teachers and the programs. read more

I love this program. We live in Atlanta and my 8 year old has been doing the virtual mandarin summer camp for 3 weeks. The teacher ms. Doreen is fabulous. She keeps my daughter engaged the entire time and continually and consistently speaks to her in mandarin, teaches her new words, and works on her Chinese characters. This is the perfect program for any child who wants to maintain their language skills, while having fun and creating art. My daughter is in a language immersion school and with virtual learning, plus summer I was worried that she would forget what she has learned. Kids language arts is the perfect solution. I cannot say enough great things about them. read more

My children attended a week of Spanish immersion summer camp, and the program was excellent. The small groups are great as each child receives individual attention, it's a calm environment, the art projects were fun, the staff members are kind to children and put a tremendous amount of effort and creativity! We will definitely be back. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of the director and the teachers here. My daughter literally begs me to come to KLA every week and is so excited when she leaves the facility. I am so thankful and grateful for KLA leaving such an impression on my daughter and instilling the love of learning within my child... thank you KLA! read more

Kids Language Art has such an attentive and caring staff who make each child feel special. They are responsive to questions and requests and have been an integral part of our child's language development. They also host amazing birthday parties and fun Friday night events so parents can go out. Truly a special place! read more
