French‑speaking parent at home. Through songs, crafts, stories, and interactive games, young heritage speakers will
strengthen their oral skills, build confidence, and take pride in their French abilities.

benefit from the activities.
A joyful and supportive environment helps children expand vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and feel more connected to the French language
and culture.
