French-Enriched Group Childcare Program for children ages 30 months to school age.

 

Welcome to our play based early learning childcare program. This program is an excellent choice for families planning to enroll their children at the French Immersion elementary school, Through engaging and age-appropriate French instruction, children will develop confidence and familiarity with a second language before entering kindergarten.

 

For more than 43 years, we have been committed to providing exceptional early learning experiences that support children’s overall well-being, foster positive relationships, and encourage exploration through movement, curiosity, and play.

Our curriculum is guided by children’s interests and emerging themes, inspiring them to learn with a sense of wonder, confidence, and independence. Through our play-based approach, we recognize and celebrate individual differences while supporting creativity, cognitive development, and social-emotional growth.
