Every parent knows that nurturing and teaching children how to walk, talk, and eat are important indicators of success, but it can be overwhelming to figure out what educational goals and milestones children need before they begin school. Of course, little ones need to recognize numbers, letters, and their own name. But one skill that can truly shape their future? Learning French from the very beginning with help from Canadian Parents for French<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Children ages 0-6 are like little sponges who pick up unbelievable amounts of information every minute. This means that learning French-second-language before entering school is the ideal time to ensure your child is mastering the language. Even if you\u2019re not fluent yourself, Canadian Parents for French<\/a> is here to help. This national network of parents and volunteers is dedicated to creating opportunities for children of all ages to discover the joy of French as a second language. Their French Footprints Parents Resource Hub<\/a>, specifically geared for ages 0-6, is packed with tools, ideas, and encouragement to make learning fun and accessible for the whole family.<\/p>\n

Inside the French Footprints Parents Resource Hub<\/a>, parents, teachers, and caretakers can read timely and well-informed blog posts<\/strong> filled with French book suggestions for babies and toddlers, French songs and activities for preschoolers, tips for non-French-speaking parents, and guidance on how to best support your child through the learning process before and during their school journey. With a vast catalogue of ideas and supports, parents will find everything they need to start the process, how to optimize success, and resources to enhance learning.<\/p>\n

In addition to plenty of print resources, French Footprints also offers an in-depth and engaging podcast<\/strong> covering topics such as how to build your French-speaking support network, the benefits of using music to teach French-language skills, and how to nurture early French numeracy in your family as well.<\/p>\n

For families who love hands-on learning, the French Footprints Kit<\/a> is a fantastic place to start. For just $25, you\u2019ll receive a package filled with engaging items like a French book, vocabulary flashcards, a finger puppet, a silk play scarf, a counting mat, and even a musical shaker. There\u2019s also a 12-page printed Parent Resource Guide so you know exactly how to make the most of each item. The best part? Shipping is free, and if you share French Footprints with your community, you may even qualify for a complimentary kit! Be sure to get the kit while you can, as supplies are limited.<\/p>\n

Explore the French Footprints Parent Resource Hub here<\/a>, and get started on your child’s early French-language journey today!<\/p>\n
