Saturday Early Beginners English (Age 4+) – Vocabulary Foundations

Early Beginners English is a Saturday course designed for true beginners aged 4 and above. The programme introduces essential English vocabulary through songs, movement, storytelling, themed activities, and creative play.

The course follows the vocabulary progression outlined within the Cambridge English Starters and Movers levels, ensuring children build a structured and internationally recognised foundation in everyday English.
