At La Maternelle, we embrace the delicate art of nurturing young minds, offering a harmonious blend of French (français) and English (anglais) education that cultivates both intellect and spirit. Our esteemed institution unfolds a tapestry of programs, each meticulously crafted to cater to the unique developmental stages of your cherished little ones (petits).
Infant Program (3 months to 12 months)
In our Infant Program, we provide a sanctuary of care and affection, attending to the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial needs of our youngest charges. With intimate class sizes ensuring personalized attention, our devoted caregivers orchestrate a symphony of activities that stimulate burgeoning senses and nascent curiosities. Through the Tadpoles app, parents receive daily chronicles of their child’s journey, replete with snapshots capturing moments of wonder and discovery.
Toddler Program (12 months to 24 months)
As infants blossom into toddlers, our Ones Program focuses on social development and language acquisition. Within spacious classrooms filled with laughter and learning, children engage in daily enrichment classes—yoga (le yoga), music (la musique), and more—each led by specialized instructors who ignite passion and joy. Through French stories (histoires), games (jeux), and sensory explorations, we lay the foundation for a lifelong love of language and culture.
Preschool (2 years to 5 years)
In the preschool program, we continue to cultivate social grace and cognitive prowess. Our curriculum, rich with colors (couleurs), shapes (formes), letters (lettres), and numbers (nombres) in both French and English, encourages playful exploration and artistic expression. Through collaborative activities, children enhance their fine and gross motor skills, while mastering essential self-care abilities, including potty training (apprentissage de la propreté), fostering autonomy and self-assurance.
For our older learners, we emphasize virtues of respect, cooperation, patience, and kindness. We inspire children to embrace responsibility and cultivate friendships, preparing them for the grand tapestry of their educational journey ahead. Through a kaleidoscope of lessons spanning language, mathematics, science, and the arts, we encourage independent thought and a thirst for knowledge.
Enrichment and Daily Rhythm
Each day unfolds with a rhythm that balances structured learning and free exploration. Morning circles in French set the tone, followed by activities that range from art and science experiments to outdoor play in our verdant spaces. Nutritious meals (repas) and restful nap times (sieste) are interwoven, ensuring holistic well-being. Our extended hours from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM cater to the rhythms of modern family life, providing a reliable and loving environment for your child to flourish.
