                     French Circle Time for Daycares - French Learning for Kids
123 Petits Pas provides weekly French circle 
times to both home-based daycare and 
daycare centres throughout the city. 
What is a "French Circle"?
Our parent participants came to us asking for 
ways to continue our programming once 
their children started daycare. Hence the 
creation of our “French Circle Times”. We 
arrange weekly visits to both home and 
center daycares in order to ensure that 
preschoolers have the ability to learn French 
prior to entering school.
We ensure that our little participants’ first experiences with the French language are 
encouraging and FUN.
We introduce basic French vocabulary that is useful to children in their day-to-day 
life.
We do this through: song, movement, and a variety of engaging activities.
We use helpful tools, such as: musical instruments, puppets, scarves, children’s 
books, and MUCH more!

Homeschool Spaces -123 petits pas
 
After the teacher and the parents, children 
learn from their environment.
The concept of the environment as the third 
teacher is prominent in Montessori and 
Reggio Emilia approaches to learning. The 
ways in which your homeschool space is 
designed play an essential role in shaping how 
children learn.
This idea is inspired by the Reggio Emilia pedagogy. 
Ateliers encourage experimentation, intuition and 
creativity. Limit sitting time and encourage your child 
to learn using their whole body! Find time for sensory 
exploration, body breaks, and play-based learning.
Heavily decorated or too many materials displayed in 
your learning space may become overwhelming and 
actually distract your child from school work.
Here are some tips to create an encouraging learning environment at home. Register
