French Classes for Children

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.
