| | ~~The preschool program is a play-based one to tap into children's natural curiosity and stimulate their intellectual, motor, and artistic skills as well as social development. Your children will develop social skills through age appropriate activities such as movements, music, and crafts. They will share stories, songs, nursery rhymes and games as well as cultural practices and celebrations.
This class is conducted in French with assistance in English only when necessary.
Advantages of Learning a Second Language Early
- More Powerful Brains: “New studies on brain development indicate that early exposure to more than one language builds more powerful brains, with better and faster synaptic connections.” Newsweek
- Better Problem Solving Abilities: Children who learn a second language typically have better problem solving abilities, better reasoning skills, and are more creative. Education Resources Information Center, ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages & Linguistics

| | Instructor Bio: |
| | Bonjour! My name is Whitney. While not a native speaker, I worked and studied in France for five years, igniting a passion for all things French- the culture, the people, and their beautiful language. After earning a diploma and various language certifications through the University of La Rochelle, I then spent three years in Bordeaux, studying Foreign Applied Linguistics. I am well acquainted with many of the Palaestra staff, and grateful to them for this unique privilege of teaching French to your children- in smaller classes, within a Christian context. The curriculum will be both flexible, and integrative, meeting your child wherever they are, and immersing them as deeply as our time together will allow. Along with these classes, I will also offer tutoring. |
