A 5-7 year-old class for children with previous exposure to French, through a school immersion program or if they are exposed to French through a parent. Through songs, crafts, and games, heritage speakers will gain confidence in speaking and pride in their French abilities. Students should have some ability to read (in English or French) for this class.

IMPORTANT: Because we are at the end of our academic year, new students will not be accepted unless they have some existing experience with the language. If you are interested and are new to the Kids Program, please contact our Front Desk to discuss your child's participation.

Accompanied by their parents or caregivers, your toddlers get exposure to the French language through nursery rhymes, games, crafts, and flash cards. Each class is structured around a beginning routine, a theme of the day with its pertaining vocabulary, and a closing routine. The class opens with a traditional French song, where everyone sings. For the theme of the day, the Cocos are encouraged to recognize colors and sounds. They learn vocabulary while moving around the room, touching images, posters, or participating in simple craft-projects. This class emphasizes on oral comprehension, tactile experience, and some verbal expression—all in French!

This class is appropriate for children ages 2.5-4 years old.
