Baby Academy is a Russian language child care program, helping preschool-aged children from Russian-speaking backgrounds preserve their language, heritage and culture. The program aims to provide each child with a wide range of learning experiences across visual, verbal, tactile, social, cultural, formal and informal experiences. Age-appropriate educational activities are held in small groups.
