Why Kookaburra, a Preschool Embraces Multilingualism
Forging Global Citizenship from an Early Age
At Kookaburra Preschool, we believe that language is more than just a means of communication; it’s a gateway to understanding myriad cultures and perspectives. With multilingualism, we are not only equipping our students with valuable language skills but also nurturing them to become global citizens who can navigate and treasure the richness of our interconnected world
Why Learning Multiple Languages is Important?
At Kookaburra Preschool, we believe that learning multiple languages is pivotal for developing well-rounded, globally aware individuals. Here’s why:
- Cognitive Abilities: Learning multiple languages boosts brain power, creativity, and multitasking abilities.
- Cultural Awareness: Exposure to different languages fosters respect and empathy for diverse cultures, promoting inclusion and understanding.
- Master Communication Skills: Multilingualism helps children become confident and elite communicators, benefiting them both academically and socially.
- Global Preparedness: In a globalised world, multilingual proficiency is a valuable asset, giving our students a competitive edge in future academic and career pursuits.
Cognitive Benefits: Boosting Brain Power Through Language Learning
In a comprehensive study, Dr. Thomas Bak from the University of Edinburgh discovered that multilingual individuals tend to perform better in cognitive tasks. They demonstrate superior attention control and problem solving skills. His research, published in Cognitive Science, punctuates that multilingualism can hoist brain function and delay cognitive decline, making it a powerful tool for lifelong mental agility.

At Kookaburra, our carefully designed language integration aims to boost intellectual growth and prepare our students for academic excellence.
