Kiddies French is a parent and child French class full of fun activities, games and songs for children from 4-7 years of age.

Kiddies French is a children’s language educational program that offers a series of parent and child classes devoted to the linguistic, social and emotional development of children with the support of their parents.

Kiddies French classes are broken up into 6 weeks sessions. Classes last for 50 minutes and are limited to very small numbers. 

The activities are designed to expose the children to new sounds and vocabulary while reinforcing their social skills in a group environment.

Activities are designed to provide a positive learning experience for both parent and child.

Children who are exposed to languages at an early age find language learning easier as they grow. Under the age of 7 they are at a stage of ‘absorption’, where they don’t need to translate and analyse grammatical structures in order to learn.

Therefore it is a key time in their lives to expose them to other languages. Learning through fun also means that they have positive associations with the language, and language learning, rather than the traditional association of language learning in a classroom with books. 

Exposing children to languages also opens the child’s imagination and understanding of the world. It helps builds their curiosity for other cultures.

This leads to understanding, respect for and collaborating with other cultures later in life, which can often lead to greater job opportunities and experiences.

The participation of parents is essential to Kiddies French activities. When parents participate in their child’s world of imagination, discovery and learning, the child blossoms with more confidence to explore and learn.

Time spent playing and sharing with mom or dad contributes to healthy emotional development and will also build trust and open communication between parent and child. 

Language learning is also more successful when reinforced on a daily basis.

This is also why parents participate in the class; so they can use the new vocabulary with their children in an everyday environment, therefore ensuring the child’s learning and linguistic development.
