The Little House of Different Cultures is a home-based French and Spanish Language Immersion School, open to people of all ages, from the youngest toddlers to the oldest great-grandparents! Children learn through creative games, stories, music, play-acting, and guided conversations. Adults also enjoy guided talks, while sipping tea around the table. The logistics of the languages are taught; however, the emphasis is on learning how to think and communicate orally in the new tongue(s), from the very beginning! This is made possible by the tiny size of the groups, which never go over 5 participants! The atmosphere is relaxed, non-intimidating, and extremely conducive to learning , as students dare to try expressing their thoughts, with the knowledge that they will be - gently! - corrected, if in error! Little by little, everyone develops confidence, and becomes more proficient. And doors open unto the world at large...
Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church was founded on November 28, 1948. In 1950 the first building was built with the larger portion of the building added on in 1959. There have been several renovations and improvements made throughout the years looking towards a commitment to education, worship, mission, and outreach. A remodeled social hall, bride's room, Sunday School rooms, and ADA restrooms, and a welcoming community room have fostered a feeling of warmth and welcome to all who come.
