Parent Corner

Try it together

Join your child in a short, shared activity. Follow their interest, allow time for a response, and celebrate effort rather than correctness. Stop when they need rest.

For infants, choose face-to-face greetings, sounds, books, songs, and gentle interaction rather than screen lessons. Stay beside your child, use age-safe materials, and adapt every activity to their needs. Gigi supports—not replaces—caring adults.

Hi, Little Explorers!

A warm, curious guide for our youngest learners

Gigi is the signature character of the Grade Club World Languages Academy™. She loves adventures, languages and making new friends around the world — and she invites children to sing, repeat new words and explore new cultures one joyful discovery at a time.

Gigi is an animated educational companion, not a chatbot and not a substitute for people. Every Gigi experience is introduced, guided and extended by a Grade Club educator — she supplements caring, human interaction; she never replaces it.

Grade Club World Languages Academy™

One world. Many languages. Endless possibilities.

Gigi takes little learners on language adventures through songs, stories, movement and play — exploring new words, sounds and cultures.

Spanish

Greetings, numbers, colors, family words, animals, music, movement and introductory conversational vocabulary.

Bonjour!

French

Introductory vocabulary, greetings, songs, numbers, colors, everyday words and cultural exposure.

Nǐ hǎo!

Please note

The World Languages Academy™ is optional premium enrichment and is separate from Grade Club's core tuition. Enrollment at Grade Club does not automatically include paid World Languages Academy classes. General age-appropriate language exposure may occur within the core curriculum, while structured World Languages Academy™ programming is an optional enrichment service.

Structured language enrichment may begin at approximately 6 months of age when developmentally appropriate. For infants, the emphasis is auditory exposure, rhythm, songs, repetition, sounds, gestures and interaction — not formal language instruction or fluency.
