Our Maternelle program (Preschool, PreK and Kindergarten) gently prepares younger students emotionally, socially, and cognitively for learning in multiple languages. Our curriculum is tailored to the developmental needs of children ages three to six, alternating meaningful play with language immersion activities such as rhyming play, songs, or word games.
In Kindergarten, children begin to learn about phonics and phoneme awareness in both languages, English and French, while developing their math skills and their curiosity about the world around them. By the end of kindergarten, our students are well prepared to progress to the formal reading instruction in both languages, that happens in first grade.
