From 3 years old, the children gradually familiarise themselves with the French by total immersion in the language. Teachers communicate with the children in French only. The curriculum as well as the games and activities are organised in French.

The language immersion method of teaching was created in the 1960s in Canada by English-speaking parents who lived in bilingual areas. In this approach, learners are in total immersion in the foreign language with a native teacher. The goal is to speak the second language as naturally as the mother tongue.

The daycare is open 5 days per week, Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm.
The holidays are the same as in the Official Finnish Schooling System.

• To support children in the development of their own potential and in the process of socialisation;
• To encourage the learning of the French language and to sensitise children to the French culture without forgetting the multicultural context of our kindergarten;
• To work out the French language speaking performance of children to a level close to that of native speakers.

In order to respect the rhythm of life appropriate for all ages, children are grouped as follows:

• Toddler group
• Junior group
• Pre-school group

Children under 3 years old are taught in Finnish and French.
From 3 years old on, children are taught by French native speakers.
