Language Links is excited to bring quality fun foreign language immersion programs to children between the ages of 3 and twelve years of age. We believe in introducing language in a natural environment using a variety of engaging activities to meet the needs and interests of all students learning styles and levels.

Small groups of students are immersed in a second language in a natural setting using a variety of songs, games, projects, dances, skits, dialogues and arts & crafts. Our unique approach maximizes a child's"window of opportunity" or what linguists and doctors refer to as a child's "critical period" for flexible cognitive development.

Language Links was founded by Maria Demeo in 2000 in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Maria has been working with and teaching children for 16 years. She holds a Bachelors degree in Spanish from the University of Massachusetts and a Masters degree in teaching K-12 in Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL) from the School for International Training in Brattleboro Vermont. She has studied at the University of Salamanca in Spain as well as La Universidad de San Sebastian. Maria has traveled throughout Europe, Spain, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica. She has taught in several language academies and schools in Spain, Puerto Rico, New Mexico, Florida, Chicago, and in Sandwich, Massachusetts. In the Fall of 2007 Maria started teaching part time at Falmouth High School. She enjoys teaching children and hopes to foster awareness for cultural differences and to inspire children to celebrate diversity through language learning and communication.
