Norwegian
Barnehage (Norwegian for “children’s garden”) surrounds three- to five-year-olds in the Twin Cities area with the language and culture of Norway through music, dance, creative play, crafts, games, stories and food. All activities take place in a safe, supportive, fun environment and in Norwegian!
Barnehage is a unique foundational pre-K experience for life-long learners of Norwegian. It also provides children with the skills they need for success in starting kindergarten and elementary school. The program is a natural precursor to Skogfjorden, the Norwegian Language Village, a Norwegian language and culture immersion summer camp for young people ages 7 to 18.
