The ABCD – Association for Brazilian Bilingual Children’s Development – main objective is to assist Brazilian-Australian families and families of Portuguese-speaking children to conquer the challenges of bilingual upbringing in Australia.

The ABCD is a volunteer, not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to the development of Portuguese-speaking bilingual children.

What does the ABCD do?

The ABCD assists Sydney families with a Brazilian connection to achieve their dream of bringing up their children in a balanced and fulfilled bicultural environment. It does this through:

• Teacher-led playgroup sessions for children aged 0 to 3
• A bilingual pre-school program for children aged 3 to 5
• Portuguese language classes for children, teenagers and adults
• Cultural and social events for Portuguese-speaking bilingual families
• Dance classes for children aged 5 to 15 years old.
