Parking for Story Parlor can be found on residential streets, and nearby businesses such as Taco Billy, Cooperative Coffee, or Archetype brewing, or in the little pay gravel lot ($2 by app) next to the cake shop.

Caretaker and child classes involve some sitting on the floor, but we have chairs for any adults who prefer to sit in chairs or stand. We often sit on the floor in a circle but children and adults are not expected to remain sitting. The theater space is large and magical, which also means a little bit distracting, so don't be alarmed if children seem curious to look at things like a hanging light or strange sculpture on a shelf for the first few classes. With this age group we encourage exploration and play. Children absorb language and music in so many different ways! More details provided after registration. Please email for any questions. asheville@bilingualbirdies.com
For customers who have been severely affected financially by Hurricane Helene, please email to explain and we can try to arrange for limited financial assistance spaces, which will depend upon enrollment numbers and any donations we receive.

ENROLL

Join Myla Birdie for a bilingual celebration in each class! This semester is about learning 10-20 new words per class that relate to making new friends and preparing for Myla's big birthday party. Children learn through music, movement, and puppetry! Classes end with a bubble dance party extravaganza. Each newly enrolled family receives materials to practice at home including: a plush mini Myla Birdie puppet, one bilingual ebook per month reflecting themes from class, an album download of the 10 best original songs from class, and bilingual vocabulary sheets highlighting keywords from the curriculum. (Note: Enrolled families who are returning from a previous series of Myla classes receive ebooks and vocabulary sheets only.) All teachers are trained and certified in the Bilingual Birdies methodology and use intruments and props in class to make learning fun and engaging for all ages. Families should expect to sing and dance while they learn new words, bond with their children, and connect with other budding bilingual families!
