Founded 

Children's Center was founded in 2001 by a group of parents concerned about their children's cultural and intellectual growth. The Center has become a unique place for children ages 3 to 16 to learn Russian and preserve their cultural identity. There are now 20 students.

Our program is designed to meet the needs of children who can speak and understand Russian, and adopted children who speak mostly English but can still understand Russian. Our teachers are all high professionals and native Russian speakers. We're working on creating a strong, challenging and exciting developmental program combining language, literature, nature study, art and music lessons. Children find a loving and creative atmosphere at our Center.
