Program Offerings
Whether your child is only beginning to speak or is already proficient in French, our program offers flexible options for varying skill levels.
- Parleurs (Ages 3 to 6) will help students develop their oral language skills in a supportive and engaging environment through interactive activities, games, and conversations.
- Lecteurs (Ages 6 to 9) is for students who want to learn to read in French or reinforce their reading skills.
