JUMP FOR JAPAN EVENT

On April 29th AuPairCare will team up with the House of Bounce in Manassas Virginia providing a way for the community to assist in the efforts in Japan. This tragedy has touched all of our hearts and we are excited to raise money to help in the efforts. There will be four open bounce sessions throughout the day. The cost is $9.00 per person. The House of Bounce has been very generous in allowing $6.00 to go directly to the American Red Cross to assist in their hard work in Japan!!! When you arrive at the House of Bounce there will also be an option to purchase 2 slices of pizza and a drink for $5.00 as well! AuPairCare is thrilled to be involved in this event and for anyone who attends, we will be giving away coupons for a free application.....a $350 savings! Come to the House of Bounce on April 29th to support Japan and meet some amazing au pairs from around the world who will be there to support this cause as well! Invite all of your neighbors and friends!

Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language YOUNG!!!

Young children are uniquely suited to learning a second language. The developing brain is hard-wired to acquire language – never again will it be this natural or this easy!

Children Learn A Second Language Naturally

Exposing your child to a second language young allows a child to optimize his or her learning potential, helping to shape the brain at its most flexible stage. Young children are uniquely suited to learning a second language. Learning a second language at a young age is cognitively as easy as learning a first language.

Young children can acquire native-like fluency as easily as they learned to walk. Where adults have to work through an established first-language system, studying explicit grammar rules and practicing rote drills, the young kids learn naturally, absorbing the sounds, structures, intonation patterns and rules of a second language intuitively, as they did their mother tongue. The young brain is inherently flexible, uniquely hard-wired to acquire language naturally.

Window Of Opportunity:
Early childhood is the best time for language acquisition. Ease of learning a second language diminishes with age. Between birth and adolescence the brain is hard-wired to acquire language naturally. As a child approaches puberty, the nature of language learning and storage changes, becoming less flexible.

Young learners enrich their lives and open up doors to their future by gaining:

an expanded world view.
greater intercultural appreciation and sensitivity.
ability to learn additional languages more easily.
a competitive edge in future markets and
the global marketplace.

By hosting an au pair we are all providing our kids with this amazing opportunity!!!!

Laser Tag Was a BLAST!!

We had such a fun afternoon of playing laser tag. I have to admit that my competitive side came out today and I was on a mission to get you all!!! hahahah If you would like me to send you some tissues because you are so sad by the fact that I WON...just let me know! hahahah I love you all and I can't wait until next month's fun events! Thanks for all of you who came today! You all make me smile :)

Event on Sunday November 8th

I look forward to a big turn out on Sunday for Laser Quest in Woodbridge, VA. We will meet at 4pm at Laser Quest which is located very close to Potomac Mills Mall. Unfortunately, the mall closes early on Sundays so if you would like to go shopping there (which I highly recommend!!!) I would go earlier and meet us at Laser Quest when you are done shopping. We will go out to dinner for those interested after we play!
