Free Parent Talk: The Linguistic Genius of Your Child

Kelly Bolen, the education director at Sponge, delivers an informative talk about language acquisition in babies and children while parents enjoy wine, cheese and good company. The free talk will take place on Thursday, Sept. 12, from 7 to 8 p.m. at Sponge, located at 3107 S. Day St. in Seattle.

Parents, relax with a glass of wine and soak up some very compelling facts. How do children learn language? What is the best time to introduce your child to a new language? Bolen will draw from the latest research and share the many benefits of introducing children to world languages at a very young age. She can answer your all your questions about the how-tos, the whys and the whens.

RSVPs are recommended; call 206-227-7138 or email events@spongeschool.com. For more information about this event, visit www.spongeschool.com.
