Session
Overview
Families Canada, Canadian Parents for French (CPF), and 123 Petits Pas are developing an e-module to help Anglophone family support practitioners incorporate activities that help young children learn about French into their existing programs.
In this information session, our expert partners will explain how introducing French activities can positively impact children’s early development. They will also share a fun example activity that you can immediately use in your work to help children grow a love of French language learning.
We will also discuss additional free resources, and upcoming funding opportunities for family support centres who would like to help children love French.
No French language skills are required to join the info session or participate in the project!
