Arabic Through Play: A RIE®-Inspired Storytime & Free Play Group

Because language is best learned through love, play, and human connection.

Your child’s brain is growing at lightning speed—and it’s hungry for meaningful experiences. Why wait for tutoring years down the line, or risk losing a precious connection to heritage, when your toddler can absorb Arabic naturally through joyful play?

In our Arabic playgroup, toddlers and young children are immersed in the language through free play and storytime, guided by the respectful principles of the RIE® Educaring® Approach. I speak only in Arabic during the session—no pressure to perform or sit still. Children are free to move, explore, and simply be—while gently absorbing the rhythms, sounds, and beauty of Arabic.

Over time, this quiet, consistent exposure plants the seeds of fluency and love for the language—rooted not in drills, but in warm human connection.

Open to toddlers and 3-year-olds starting July, 2025.
Location: Palisades, Washington, DC
