Forest Pre-school
French way of life for little ones
A warm welcome to our French Forest Pre-school
We are based in Stanmer Park where children will be able to safely explore, play and make new friends in French.
We welcome 3-5 years children.
They will have the opportunity to :
- Learn about nature,
- Play, sing, cook, climb, use tools safely and more ,
- Learn French,
- develop at their own pace.
We work closely with the local French association les Franglophones as we value the importance of being part of a community and creating an exceptional care for your children.
French life...
We offer a French way of life with the importance of meal time, family and discussions adults/children.
Everyone will speaks French to their own abilities :
For bilingual children, this is an opportunity to consolidate their French. We have noticed, through Les Franglophones, children who have spent time (even small) in a French school environment become much more confident linguists.
Most importantly , this allows them to be able to communicate/bond better with their French relatives.
For non French speaking families, we will offer adapted French lessons to the children & use visual aids to help with understanding at group time.
Seeing the world through two languages helps with cognitive development, mental flexibility, reasoning and problem solving. more info.
