Foundations Language (ELLA Program)

ELLA is an exciting digital language learning program for preschoolers. It opens up a world of cultural possibilities for children early in life. ELLA develops children’s social, thinking and digital skills. It supports their literacy, and can even improve memory and concentration.At Foundations we believe children gain so much more than a new language experience by engaging in the ELLA Program. ELLA can boost children’s learning, cultural appreciation and digital, cognitive and social skills.

Foundations Cooking Classes

Did you know Cooking with children – from nursery to preschool age – has a lot of benefits.

As well as being fun, cooking with children

1. Gives you the chance to introduce them to fresh, healthy foods and new foods.
2. Helps them learn about how different foods look and where they come from.
3. Helps them develop healthy eating habits, because they’re more likely to try food that they’ve helped to cook.
4. Helps them learn about family traditions, recipes and foods.
5. Prepares them for cooking for themselves or the family in later years.
6. Helps build their maths skills – for example, when you count out teaspoons or measure liquid together
7. Helps build their vocabulary – for example, when you read a recipe together.

At Foundations Learning Academy we understand the importance of developing healthy eating habits and all the benefits that come with cooking and offer cooking classes to all enrolled children of the service.
