If you’ve been looking for a fun and meaningful way for your little ones to connect with Italian culture this summer, meet Catrina Percontino.
The Long Island mom turned her dream into reality with Per Tutti, creating a welcoming space where children can learn Italian through music, movement, arts and crafts, games, and hands on activities.
Catrina says “children learn language naturally and with ease due to our warm and welcoming environment,” and that philosophy is at the center of everything offered at Per Tutti.
This summer, families can check out classes for little ones, summer camp programs, pasta and dessert workshops, plus family game nights featuring bocce, scopa, and trivia.
One of the sweetest parts for Catrina is seeing how quickly kids absorb the language. She shared that some parents come back “shocked that their child sings the songs at home” or starts using Italian expressions outside of class 🥹
But beyond the language learning, she says “our community is everything,” explaining that many families have formed real friendships through the programs over the years.
From infants in the “adult and me” classes to preschool and summer programs, Per Tutti has become a special place for Long Island families looking to connect, learn, and celebrate Italian culture together this summer.
