Hi!!

Anyone know of an English-speaking playgroup, other than international kindergarten?

Looking to find some English-learning companions for my 10-month old son. He will go to Norwegian kindergarten this summer but would like him to have some contact with other English families to help the development of his language.

Maybe some of you have children facing similar bilingual development and would like to cooperate?

Hope to hear from someone soon

I have a 20 month old little girl in Fyllingsdalen, she will be starting our local barnehage after the summer. We currently go to a local 氓pen barnehage and there are a few English speaking families. I think the central 氓pen barnehagene will probably have even more.
As my LO is only just starting to talk, I hadn't thought of her having English speaking playmates before.
If anyone fancies a playdate in Fyllingsdalen, let me know!

Wow! I'm pretty shocked someone deleted my response to this as off topic! It wasn't! So here it is again: the Bergen International Women's group holds a Mom & Tots playgroup - this means English speaking moms with English speaking babies and toddlers playing together. (NOT OFF TOPIC!!!!)

I was surprised too MamaPanda, I saw the message before it was moderated and joined up to the IWG Yahoo group so that I can maybe meet up with some more English speaking Mums in Bergen.

Cool Zombie Tron! My kids are older so I don't join in on the playgroup, but the women I have met from the larger group are very nice.

Wow, so much going on in Bergen! I wonder if any of you will be around in the summer? Down on Stord I never seem to find any other folks with English-speaking children, but this may just be me! My kids are 6 and 3 and are in the Norwegian bhg/school system but I feel they lack a little in their morsm氓l since it's only myself and the TV they hear using it! (Apart from the occasional visit)

Hi there!
We are new in Bergen, and my son (16 months) is not in barnehage yet. But he would love to play with someone other than his mommy for a change:-) Let me know if there is anybody that is still looking for a play date.

Hello everyone,
I'm curious if there is any demand for (English speaking) child care this summer as most Kindergartens are closing. If so, please feel free to contact me. I have excellent references, and extensive experience in language development especially between age 3-6. Among other things, I have been a head teacher of a preschool class at the German School of Marin in the United States for 5 years.
Good luck with the playgroup!
Vivian

Absolutely,
I'm just curious if the demand for English speaking play groups extends to childcare.
Thanks for the tip.
