Fiesta de Mayo at Jabberü - Free Event at New Location in Ashburn VA Celebrates Latin American Cultures
Ashburn, VA (PRWEB) April 25, 2008 -- Jabberü is hosting Fiesta de Mayo at their newly opened Ashburn location on Friday, May 9th from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. This event will be a celebration of Latin American cultures and is open to all children (free-of-charge) ages four to eight. Jabberü's native Spanish-speaking instructors will lead the children through fun games and traditional hands-on crafts. Children will learn how to greet all of their new friends in Spanish, sing traditional Latin American songs, and hear traditional Latin American stories.
"The Fiesta de Mayo event allows us to expose kids to Latin American cultures through our unique program and get them excited about growing up global," says Jabberü founder Rob Anderson. "Much of the research has shown that kids who take foreign language classes score better on standardized tests, are more culturally aware and resistant to stereotyping as they grow older, and have a better command of vocabulary in their primary language - all points of interest for parents today."
Their latest location in Ashburn has really struck a chord with local parents. "We've seen a great response from families in Loudoun County," says Shelley Whiddon, co-founder. "This year, we are hosting several free cultural events - like Fiesta de Mayo - as our way of giving back to the community while promoting our mission of global citizenship through language and cultural education."
Space is limited for this free event, so early registration is recommended. The Fiesta de Mayo event will be held at the Ashburn location at 20608 Gordon Park Square, #190, Ashburn, VA 20147. Please call (703) 232-1616 to reserve your child's spot or for more information.
