A second language. Le français.
Young children take in a second language without effort. Ours is French, taught twice a day. No French is needed at home.
10:30
Cours de français
Half an hour of new words, songs and practice.
3:30
The afternoon class
The greeting song, the calendar, the weather and a story, this time in French, with music and instruments. The children went through the same routine in English that morning, so they already know what the words mean.
Reading and writing in both languages.
French here is more than songs. Children learn their letters, then to read and write simple words, in French and in English. Much of that practice happens at table work in the afternoon.
What parents ask.
We don’t speak French at home. Is that a problem?
No. Children learn French here, at school, from the first word. You don’t need to speak any French yourself.
Will a second language get in the way of English?
Children hear, read and write English all day here, and French is added to it. One parent wrote that their son wasn’t talking at two and a half when he started, and now speaks both.
My child is quiet, or not talking much yet.
French class is songs, stories and the same short routines every day, done as a group. A quiet child can join in a little at a time.
What will my child be able to do when they leave?
Read and write simple words, work with numbers, cook, and make things with their hands. They are also comfortable in French.
