 Registration Information
Two 3-year-old spots have become available, effective January 2012. Please contact us to register. All classes for 2012 are already full. Please contact us to have your child placed on our waitlist. A pre-registration form is available online for 2013, 2014 and 2015. Alternately, you can contact us by phone or email and we'll send you a pre-registration form. Forms are also available to be picked up in person from our preschool bulletin board.

Please complete the pre-registration form, and mail it to us, completing all information to authorize us to charge $35.00 (non-refundable) to your credit card per child per year. Once your documents have been received, your child will be registered and we will send you a confirmation email. Copies of our parent handbook will be provided to families at our orientation meetings in September. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to receiving your registration and meeting your child!

** Important Note **

Registrations are not considered complete until receipt of all registration documents, including the non-refundable pre-registration fee. Your registration is not confirmed until you have received a confirmation letter via email.

Available Programming
We offer two separate French immersion programs: Année 1 (Year 1) and Année 2 (Year 2). Neither children nor parents are required to speak French. Children attend preschool two days per week. Please see table below for class days and times.

To be eligible for the Année 1 class, your child must be three years old by December 31st and fully potty-trained.

To start in Année 2, your child must also be fully potty-trained and be eligible to go to Kindergarten in September of the following year (for Kindergarten, your child must turn 5 by March 1st of the school year they start).


  • Année 1: basic French phrases and vocabulary, with an emphasis on cooperative play, conflict resolution and listening skills, and beginning French use.

  • Année 2: continued French language learning with an emphasis on cooperation, listening and school-ready skills (letter/number identification, basic word recognition, and speaking some French).

Staggered Entry
A staggered entry is a process whereby only half of the class attends one of the days that week and the other half the other day. In the summer time, you will receive an email indicating the day your child will begin preschool. We will begin classes with all students attending the following week. For the first day of preschool, we ask that each child be accompanied by one parent / guardian so that they can discover preschool with the comfort of parental support.
