Hungarian Language School for Children

The kindergarten is an integral part of the Gábor Bethlen Hungarian Language School in Calgary.

The number of students has increased every year, solidifying the need for children to participate in age appropriate interacting and learning Hungarian.

The primary goal is to keep and practice our mother tongue. Each lesson is combined with singing and rhyme learning, practice, listening to stories, puppetry, and at the end we color, paint, cut, glue, or play with playdough as part of handicraft development.

The effect of learning Hungarian folk games, children’s songs and rhymes have a complex and versatile impact. On one hand we preserve our traditions, and on the other hand we help develop a sense of rhythm and melody.
