Who Are We?
Kimmba Bilingual Learning Inc. is a not-for-profit association organized by Jo Jo Bilingual Education Program founder, Mrs. Marisha Theeboom, and has the help of a group of volunteer mothers with professional backgrounds as committee members.
Without their hard work and professional knowledge in their own specific areas, we wouldn't have this wonderful, structured and educational bilingual playgroup, which has been specially set up for our young learners.
Our Mission
The Multicultural Bilingual Learning Inc. (known as Kimmba) is a playgroup association which focuses on helping pre-school age and early primary (0-9 years of age) children learn a foreign language early in their lives with the aim of building self-esteem and confidence.
The program developed by Marisha Theeboom also helps participant children and their families understand other cultures, thus promoting community cohesion and harmony.
Kimmba Bilingual Learning Inc. is the first playgroup association in Australia that is aimed at the acceptance of families and children who come from different nationalities and backgrounds and who speak different languages because we believe that a society that accepts its peoples’ colours, races, languages, and even religions, is a successful, well-functioning society and one in which we would like our children to live and grow.
As migrants, we would like to see multiculturalism in Australia continue to succeed and in doing so promote the diversities of the world’s cultures without any language barriers. Kimmba Bilingual Learning Inc. has started playgroups in the following languages: Mandarin, Spanish, and German.
