I've adapted these tools—which cover reading, math, science and art—to transform our classes into a rich, immersive learning environment where children play, sing, explore, and grow in a bilingual setting. Your child will learn French naturally through predictive routines (a key for language learners), engaging songs & stories, sensory play, and social language—not flashcards or worksheets.

All activities are carefully designed to adequately nurture the emotional, intellectual and physical growth of your child. Experts agree that pushing formal academic learning too early can be counterproductive for young children. The goal of this pre-school is not to prepare your child for their French academic future, it is to nurture your child's intellectual curiosity, emotional well-being, and social skills by combining play, exploration, movement, and social interaction alongside their academic learning in English and French.

• What can I expect my child to learn?

  • I believe learning should be joyful, active, and meaningful. Your child won’t just memorize facts—they’ll build a foundation of curiosity, confidence, and a love for learning that lasts. More specifically, these are my areas of focus:

    • Academic Foundations: 

      • Early literacy through alphabet play, bilingual stories, and phonemic awareness

      • Math readiness with counting, sorting, patterning, and real-life problem-solving

      • Science and nature themes that spark curiosity and observation

    • Language & Communication

      • Songs, stories, and meaningful conversations to expand vocabulary and social confidence

      • Basic French comprehension vocabulary such as greetings, counting, colors, weather, clothes, and some commonly used verbs and objects 

    • Critical Thinking & Independence

      • Choice-based, child-led rotations inspired by Montessori principles

      • Open-ended materials that foster focus, creativity, and decision-making

    • Fine Motor & Practical Life Skills

      • Daily activities like scooping, pouring, building, and art to develop coordination and independence

    • Emotional & Social Growth

      • Collaborative play and scripts to express feelings in safe, healthy ways. Inspired by "Mindset", "Good Inside", and "How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen", I strive to teach kids to manage big feelings, solve problems with care, and believe in their ability to grow—emotionally and socially—every day.
