Let’s Play in Italian was founded in November
2005 by first generation Italian American
Catiana Celentano. Celentano’s first language
was Italian, “speaking anything other than Italian
was not an option in my house growing up”. Celentano, a stay at home mother at the time, struggling to find a children’s Italian program to help her teach her own two children Italian. Discovering that there was not many options she created her own program that is now used throughout NJ.
Let’s Play in Italian is an educational program that teaches children and adults about the Italian language and culture through various techniques.
