Spring into Italian! Session begins April 1st

Join our 10 week spring session of Italian classes for babies, toddlers, and children 6mo-12yrs. We also do middle and high school tutoring.
At La Piazza di Carolina we pride ourselves on being committed to the Italian language, applying methodologies and philosophies that support a full immersion learning environment with the goal of getting our students to speak, read, write and understand Italian.

Check Out Our New Programs for Fall 2010!

Salve tutti!

No! Please don’t tell me that we are turning the corner into the last part of summer! Amo l’estate. la mia stagione preferita. Amo il sole, fare la bronzatura, andare al mare, e tutto il resto che mi tira alla stagione che aspetto tutto l’anno e poi che mi vola via come le belle farfalle che addobbano il mio giardino.

Per, devo andare avanti lo stesso, e una grande parte vuole dire che devo cominicare ad organizzare per l’autunno. E allora ho gi creato tre nuovi corsi per la nostra scuola. Date un’occhiata.

Asilo italiano il sabato (Italian Preschool on Saturday)

I noticed that many families wanted to enroll their children in our Italian immersion preschool during the week, but because they worked full time it was impossible. So now they can join us on Saturdays! Check it out here.

Scuola elementare II (Italian for elementary school children II)

Over the years I have welcomed more elementary aged children, children from native Italian parents, and have watched our current students grow into a level that now requires a more advanced study of the Italian language. This new course is a year long program that teaches Italian grammar, writing and reading in fun, natural ways, that are made easy for the kids to grasp. I am very excited about this course, especially because I have received pedogogical materials from Italy that are used for school aged children over there. Stay tuned for our progress throughout the year. To register click here.

Classes in West Harrison, NY

West Harrison, NY, located in central Westchester County, has a large Italian population. I have been trying to bring our programming to this village for a while, but never seemed to be able to find a location. After our successful year in Yorktown Heights, NY (we’ll be back again), I became educated in how to approach other municipalities with our programs. West Harrison was very receptive (thanks also to a great referral by a loyal client), and is looking forward to working with us. We will be holding three separate classes there on Mondays. You can find registration information here.

All my ideas are inspired by you – our families and the children. Keep your comments coming and should you have any ideas, pass them along. I love your inspiration!

What Do You Think of Our New Logo?

We think we came up with the perfect combo: Italian colors + a kids feel + well, fill in the blank! We’d love to hear your thoughts! Our graphic artist is Amy Erario, https://www.alegraphicdesign.com
