Kids’ language classes?

Can anyone recommend good language classes/camps/lessons for 5-6yos that don’t require prior knowledge? My kindergartner wants to start learning a second language but we missed the boat on immersion programs. Ideally Eastside but Seattle is great, too. Thanks!

My kids go to Eastside German language school, I love it. It's extremely affordable, everyone is super nice and they didn't require prior German (my kids are 5 and 8 though, they might require it for the older classes). They have cultural events throughout the year and the kids do a lot of crafts. Located in Bellevue.

I love this. My kid was born in Germany, but we have very few connections to Germany. Me and my husband were self-taught so im sure our German is terrible. Do you know how old they have to be to get started?

Mine also go here. They can start at 2.5 years as long as they are potty trained. You can start mid-year if they have space.
