With over a decade spent teaching young children in the preschool setting, Ambi and the LPJ Team are pros at engaging and entertaining littles ones and piquing their interests at just the right time to make the learning fun and relevant! Silly songs and nursery rhymes, interactive games and vibrant expression draw students in and keep them wanting to learn and practice French day after day!
Over the course of each 4 month (semester) French Immersion Preschool Session, LPJ’s virtual offerings will draw your child into a world of fun and engaging activities that will lead to an effortless early understanding of French!
While teaching French is our obvious (and FABULOUS!) niche, enriching children's lives through exploratory preschool experiences is our first goal! Woven into our thoughtful curriculum you'll find the following types of age-appropriate learning:
vocabulary and speech
auditory and listening skills
fine motor practice
problem solving and puzzles
pre-literacy and book orientation
early math and science concepts
gross motor development and spatial awareness
social-emotional learning
art and sensory exploration
Our videos, Live meetings, Digital Products and At-home Activities will all point to these fundamental objectives for a whole-child approach to learning and development.
We hear you! Can a preschooler effectively learn from a screen? And do we want them to?
While nothing can replace the vibrant learning that takes place in the physical classroom, distance learning is an effective way to bring a quality learning experience to the comfort and safety of your home. Le Petit Jardin takes great pride in making our Virtual Classroom as warm and engaging as possible and strives to recreate the enchanting experiences we have been cultivating in our schools for over a decade.
The inclusion of the LPJ 'Boite Magique' filled with tangible learning materials really brings the hands-on preschool experience home!
So you're not a teacher yourself? And you don't speak French? Don't look so worried! We're here for you and we've got all the tools!
In addition, one reason Language Immersion is so approachable is that is doesn't really require any previous experience with the target language or culture. When you enter Le Petit Jardin's virtual world, think of it as stepping off the airplane as you arrive in France...things might not be familiar, but our brains are able to take in information, decode it as we go along, and reorient us with new understanding! The child's brain is especially capable of this -- they do it everyday in each new scenario they find themselves in. It's the most authentic way of learning and we can't wait to bring you all the tools and support you may need to watch the miracle unfold!
Just send us an email or drop your questions or challenges into the LPJ Community Forum and you'll get all the help you'll need to keep you and your child learning and loving our immersive curriculum.
