Introducing Explore With Hugo: To have fun adventures while learning English for 4- to 6-year-olds!

At Start Smart English, I’m delighted to offer the Explore With Hugo program, specially crafted for young learners aged 4–6 years. This course is designed to be fun, active, and stress-free.

To support each child’s individual learning style, the program uses a wide variety of teaching methods. No two children learn in exactly the same way, so by incorporating different approaches, Start Smart English ensures every student has the chance to shine. These varied methods also provide the necessary repetition for language learning, without becoming dull or repetitive.

We use different techniques during both structured activities and independent play, helping all students build confidence as they learn and use English in a natural and engaging environment.

The Explore With Hugo courses include interactive games, lively motion, and animated songs! Your child will not be bored, and you will be pleasantly surprised to see how excited they get for English.

Secure your child a spot today and embark on a transformative English learning journey with Explore with Hugo. Join us and watch as their language skills and confidence soar!


Explore with Hugo Activity Books

The Explore with Hugo Activity Books are a fun part of the course – but they’re only one part of the adventure!

Designed especially for children aged 4–6, the books give children a chance to revisit the English they have already been learning through games, songs, role play and hands-on activities.

Each book is packed with colourful, age-appropriate activities including colouring, matching, counting, sequencing, drawing, stickers, cutting and sticking, fingerprint activities and more. The activities are deliberately short and simple. We don’t want young children spending too much time with their heads in a book! The Activity Books are there to reinforce the English children have already explored through play, movement, songs, games and conversation – then it’s back to learning through play.

And, of course, there’s Hugo! 🦉

Hugo hides somewhere in every lesson, giving children an extra little challenge to look forward to:

“Can you find Hugo?”

The books also help children practise everyday classroom English naturally – getting their books out, finding the right page, using their pencils and crayons, putting things in, on, under and next to, and packing everything away again.

Most importantly, the Activity Books are designed to reinforce learning, not replace play. Children learn the language first by hearing it, saying it, singing it, moving with it and playing with it – then the book gives them another enjoyable way to meet that language again.

Learn it. Play with it. Explore it with Hugo. 🧡
