Welcome to Global Noodle.

Young children have the unique capacity to absorb the sounds and rhythms of language in a way that they will never be able to do again as they get older. Exposure to a foreign language at this age can provide a vital foundation for continued language learning later in life.

As a mother of 2 beautiful children, a 4-year old boy and a 2-year old girl, I've been challenged in finding really fun and engaging foreign language learning opportunities for my family, so I'm creating them myself with my company, Global Noodle.

This blog documents my journey in creating invaluable foreign language offerings not only for my family, but perhaps for yours as well.

I hope you'll join me on my adventure!

Back to School

It's been a very busy summer personally and professionally! Since I last blogged in June (shame on me!) We took a wonderful 2-week trip to Northern California where we visited my family in the Bay Area and our good friends who live on a gorgeous 90-acre property in Sonoma.

Global Noodle held it's first trial series of Foreign Language Learning Playdates in Mandarin, and we were able to test our curriculum with a 2 to 5 year old target age group of boys and girls. We developed new games and activities that were popular with active 4 year old boys and learned that arts and crafts were definitely a highlight of each class.

At the end of July, for my daughter's second birthday, we spent a weekend in San Diego with two other families, visiting Legoland, Seaworld and Balboa Park -- what a fantastic time.

Global Noodle then held it's first Spanish summer camp in partnership with Playball California! We had 12 kids, ages 3-6 at Palisades Recreation Center during the week of August 24-28. We sang songs, read stories, played games, did arts and crafts, and had a great time (please email me for additional information about our curriculum).

We are now preparing for classes at The Treehouse Social Club in Los Angeles (http://www.thetreehousesocialclub.com/) and various preschools throughout Los Angeles.

It's been a great summer, but I must say that I am looking forward to sending the kids back to school so that I can work on getting our web site up and running and expanding our services, products and geographic reach. Stay tuned for more news this fall!
