In this ongoing preschool French class, little language learners will listen to songs and make crafts while hearing and speaking French.
Ms. Colleen is a bilingual preschool teacher. She has a degree in Child and Youth Study and has been a licensed Early Childhood Educator for over 25 years. Her calm and patient manner helps young children feel comfortable and have fun learning. 
This class will be conducted in English and French, and is not an immersion class, but rather a gentle introduction to the French language for little ones.  Ms. Colleen speaks slowly and clearly and uses familiar stories and songs so that even children new to learning French will understand what happens in class. Each week a new theme will be explored using a story, songs and games, and a craft or sensory play. Children will need to have glue , crayons, safety scissors, a paint set and paper, and playdough available to them for each class. If additional supplies or worksheets are required, a message will be sent to parents before class. Parents are encouraged to be nearby in order to give help to their child during craft time.
