Portuguese as a heritage language for children growing up in Canada, so the language stays alive at home.

Portuguese for kids, through play

Every Saturday morning a group of volunteer teachers gathers children of Brazilian families for stories, songs, games and crafts, all in Portuguese. The goal is simple: that the kids feel at home in the language their family speaks, and proud of where it comes from.

Questions families ask

Does my child need to speak Portuguese already?

No. Many children arrive understanding a lot but speaking little. The activities are built so every kid can take part from day one.

Where and when does it happen?

Saturday mornings in Edmonton. The exact venue and term dates are confirmed by email when you enrol.

Can I help?

Yes, please. Classroom helpers are always welcome, and you don't need to be a teacher.
