Winter 2024 - Toddlers & Young Children Classes - 100% Online

Description:

Learn French from a young age? C'est possible !

For young children and toddlers, Alliance Française of Westchester is organising French immersion lessons throughout the school year, starting from 30mn per week, for a total of 30 lessons. As lessons are taking place online, the 30mn format is designed to maximize the impact of each lesson.

Our pedagogy is based on providing a fully immersive learning environment adapted to children and their developmental needs, so at this stage lessons primarily involve songs, toys, games, stories, and repetition of key words and expressions which will help your child discover the joy of speaking a new language. Teachers also focus on making sure children can learn and understand basic instructions, and learn to build positive relationships with their peers. If your family is already bilingual, your child will be matched with other children of a similar level and our teacher will focus more on an active acquisition of language, boosting your child's confidence in speaking French and providing a safe learning environment to help him or her embrace a multi-cultural identity. An informal interview will be arranged before the first day of class in order for our team to assess your child's level, as well as to gain a better understanding of goals which are most important to you.
