Sparking Language Joy for Our Learners
Welcome to Suomi-Koulu in Santa Monica! Our muskari, or Parent-Child Music Class, offers a heartwarming experience for children aged 0-2 and their parents. For ages three and above, our Finnish language classes immerse children in language through play and cultural activities. The instruction is in Finnish, yet children without sufficient language skills can join if accompanied by a Finnish-speaking parent. Classes in Santa Monica are taught by our experienced and devoted teacher Kati Vaarasuo.
​
Tervetuloa Santa Monican Suomi-kouluun! Muskarimme (vanhempi-lapsi -musiikkihetki) tarjoaa innostavan ja
mukavan hetken 0-2 -vuotiaille lapsille ja heidän vanhemmilleen. Lapsille kolmesta vuodesta ylöspäin tarjoamme
suomen kielen tunteja leikkien ja innostavien kielen ja kulttuurin harjoitusten avulla. Opetus tapahtuu suomen
kielellä, joten mikäli lapsen suomen kielen taito on heikko, hän voi osallistua suomea puhuvan vanhemman kanssa.
