    Many of our children join us with little or no French. Through our immersive environment, children naturally acquire the language through play, songs, stories, arts and crafts, daily routines, and interactions with their teachers and peers.

    Most English-speaking children adapt very quickly and develop a strong understanding of French within a few months.

  • We welcome children from 18 months to 6 years old.

    We offer two groups:

    • Toddlers (18 months to 2.5 years)

    • Preschoolers (2.5 to 6 years)

    Children are welcome to join our program even if they are still in diapers. Our educators support each child at their own pace throughout the potty-training process.

    Outdoor learning is an important part of our educational philosophy.

    Children enjoy daily visits to local parks and benefit from our unique location just a short walk from the beach, providing opportunities to explore, move, and learn in a natural environment.

    We also offer our Green School Program, during which children spend a full day outdoors each week. Through nature-based activities and hands-on exploration, they develop independence, curiosity, confidence, and a deeper connection with the natural world.

    Even during the winter months, we prioritize outdoor play whenever weather conditions allow.
