This French language immersion
programme for toddlers, which
started in February 2009, aims
to deepen the parent-child bond
through French.
Learning a second language
"boosts" brainpower, scientists
believe. "People who learn a
second language at a younger age
are more likely to have more
advanced grey matter than those
who learn later" say researchers
from University College London.
At the Alliance Française, we
strongly believe this and now
offer an innovative programme
one toddler-one adult to enrich
your child’s intellectual
development and ability to be
open-minded to other languages
and cultures.
Class format. Class
duration is 75 minutes. Classes
are divided into 4 different age
groups. Each group is limited to
8 children.
- A Petits Pas 1
Aged 12-24 months
- A Petits Pas 2
Aged 2-3 years
- A Petits Pas 3
Aged 3-4 years
- A Petits Pas 4 Aged
4-5 years

participation and
responsibility:
One parent or
caregiver must attend class with
their child(ren) - exception
made for the Bilingual section.
Accompaniment is limited to one
parent or caregiver only - no
other adults or children may
attend. Each parent or caregiver
is responsible for the
well-being of their child and is
strongly encouraged to
participate in all the class
activities.
Code of conduct: If
a child becomes disruptive, we
ask that the parent or caregiver
take him/her out of the class
until he/she calms down in order
to preserve a constructive
learning environment.
Health:
Please do not
bring children to class when
ill.
Discount. Please note
that you are entitled to a
