Description

Teacher : Donia Joubert or Imène Menad.

This class offers an immersive and creative journey into the French language for children aged 4–5 years, focusing on independence, emotional exploration, and joyful learning. Designed to captivate young imaginations, each session revolves around a monthly theme, that guides our activities and provides a sense of progression and discovery.

We use original songs, theatre techniques, and playful role-play to help children bond emotionally with the language. By associating words and melodies with kinesthetic movements and physical activities, children naturally absorb vocabulary and phrases in a way that feels effortless and fun.

This approach not only supports language acquisition but also fosters a deeper connection to the sounds, rhythm, and meaning of French.

Kinesthetic movements involve using the body to learn and process information. This can include gestures, dance, role-play, or physical activities that engage children’s muscles and motor skills. In essence, it’s learning through movement.

For children, kinesthetic learning is incredibly effective because it activates multiple areas of the brain simultaneously. By pairing words or melodies with physical actions, children create strong memory links that help them retain new information more naturally. This is especially true for language learning, where movements can embody meaning, making vocabulary and phrases easier to understand and recall.

The body remembers what the mind enjoys, and by connecting words with actions, melodies, and feelings, children form lasting associations that make French feel natural and accessible.

Our small class sizes ensure each child feels seen and supported as they build friendships, express themselves, and embark on their French adventure.
Please note that this class does not feature live musicians. Instead, we focus on deepening your child’s French learning experience through engaging theatre techniques, original songs.

1️⃣ Arrive on time: Our sessions are carefully designed to immerse your little one from the very first moment. Please aim to arrive 5–10 minutes before the class starts to settle in and help your child prepare for the adventure.

2️⃣ Park buggies securely: For everyone’s comfort and safety, we kindly ask you to leave buggers outside in the designated secure area.

3️⃣ Phones on silent mode: To create an immersive and focused learning environment, we ask that phones remain tucked away during the session. Don’t worry, you’ll have a special moment at the end to capture memories with your little adventurer! 🫧

4️⃣ Extra guests: If an additional adult or child needs to join you, please let us know in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.

We’re excited to share this unique journey with you and your little one!
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
