Frequently Asked Questions about Our Program
Q: Does my child need to speak French to enroll at The Little French School?
A: Not at all! Most of our students come from English-speaking homes. Our French immersion preschool is designed to help children acquire the language naturally through play, music, and daily routines. Our experienced teachers are experts at supporting children during their first steps into bilingual education.
Q: What is the benefit of a French immersion program for toddlers and preschoolers?
A: Research shows that early childhood immersion boosts cognitive flexibility, problem-solving skills, and cultural empathy. By starting at age 2 or 3, children can achieve native-like fluency more easily while building a strong foundation for future academic success.
Q: Does the school follow the Eugene 4J School District calendar?
A: Yes, our 10-month academic program follows the Eugene School District 4J calendar as closely as possible regarding holidays and breaks. This alignment makes us a convenient choice for families with older siblings in the local public school system.
Q: Are snacks provided, and can you accommodate food allergies?
A: We take pride in providing organic or locally grown snacks for all our students. We maintain an allergy-friendly environment and work closely with parents to ensure the safety and health of every child in our care.
Q: What are the hours for your full-day childcare and summer programs?
A: Both our academic year and our French summer camp operate Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. These full-day childcare hours are designed to support the schedules of working parents in the Eugene community.
Q: How does The Little French School differ from a traditional daycare?
A: While we provide the consistent hours and reliable care found in high-quality childcare, The Little French School is a pre-academic immersion program with a focus on holistic development. We pride ourselves on doing more than just caring for children; our mission is to actively help them learn and grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
