Language & Culture Learning Workshops

About the Challenge

Join our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge and give your child a head start on a lifelong love of reading! Research highlighted in The Enchanted Hour shows that reading aloud to young children stimulates brain development, strengthens emotional bonds, and fosters empathy and imagination. Studies have also found that the simple act of sharing stories helps build early language skills, increases attention spans, and lays the groundwork for future academic success. In fact, children who are regularly read to in their early years are more likely to enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger comprehension skills. By participating in this challenge, you’re not only creating precious moments together—you’re giving your child the tools they need to thrive.

Mango Languages Workshops
English & Foreign Language Learning

The City of Fairfield is a diverse community where many different languages are spoken including English, Spanish, Mongolian, Chinese, and Arabic, just to name a few. We have wonderful opportunities here to learn about other cultures but sometimes language can be a barrier to these connections. 

In 2022, FPL began offering free access to a new language learning program called Mango Languages that we want to introduce to you. Join us for one of three workshop times and get started learning! Whether you're learning English as a newcomer, want to brush up on Spanish from high school, or just have a curiousity about another culture, you're going to love Mango!  

Sign up for a new Mango account here if you want to get started right away:
