Le Petit Trottin, our newsletter

 

 

 

Trottin-Trottinette was opened in 1983 in response to a growing need for children to be exposed to the French language in a preschool environment. French is introduced to children in a positive and enriched environment tailored to their needs, abilities and knowledge of French. Every attempt is made to promote an appreciation of French language and a feeling of inclusion in French culture.

Since September 2005 Trottin-Trottinette has expanded to include before and after preschool daycare to meet the growing needs of the francophone population on the North Shore. The daycare is open during school vacations (one week in January, one week during Spring break and the summer).

Our Philosophy
We recognize each child’s individuality and respect differences in learning aptitudes and speed. It is important that the child feels secure and at ease in the environment which is attractive, child-sized, bright, warm and inviting.

A great deal of time is spent preparing the environment and keeping it in order, clean and in good repair. Materials are exchanged from time to time during the year and when activities are brought in, the children are expected to handle the materials respectfully. There are firm limits against destructive and anti-social behaviour.

Classroom activities are never conceived to promote or favour a particular religion. However, while keeping an open mind to all the different cultures, certain themes seen in class will refer to holidays traditionally celebrated in Canada. We believe children at this age assimilate easily and quickly. They are exposed to a variety of activities both structured and “free” to help incorporate French in their academic and every day lives. All academic teachings incorporate an element of fun and are adapted to the children’s level of development. Our program is sufficiently flexible to respond to individual needs.
