Mother's Morning Out/ Preschool/Pre-K * |
Our Preschool Program is offered in Spanish and French. Children as young as 4 years old start letter recognition and spelling in the foreign language, as well as developing preschool knowledge about other subjects. Our Preschool curriculum is driven by Reggio Emilia approach.
Mothers' Morning Out is available for children one year old to 30 months of age. The MMO Program helps the child to understand the language before starting the more structured Preschool Program. The children in the MMO will automatically register in the Preschool Program (no waiting list).
