It was in April 2009 that Ginny Brown, as a visiting Stonington educator to a sister school in China, witnessed children speaking two and three languages fluently and learning about global culture. A year later, with business partner and husband Jason, she began her foray into bilingual education, offering Mandarin and Spanish language enrichment classes to children in the Stonington area.
Encouraged by parents and responding to the needs of the community, the Browns expanded on the concept of early language enrichment and founded The Global Child LLC: Early Childhood School and Care Center in 2011, serving children from birth to six years. As parents and longtime educators, they developed an age-appropriate early education curriculum that integrates exposure to a second language and culture through music and art, learning and play, led by teachers whose first language is Spanish.
