Édition de l’année 2025

This series of workshops is aimed at pre-school children and their parents to prepare them for school

  • Taking the stress out of the unknown at the start of the school year
  • Stimulate children's overall development in relation to the skills needed for the start of kindergarten
  • Increase parents' knowledge of the expectations of the kindergarten curriculum
  • Strengthening parenting skills specifically related to reading

Typical structure of a workshop - duration 2.5 h

  • Each workshop begins with a joint welcome, after which the children are separated from the parents for about an hour.
  • Durant cette période, les enfants découvrent des lectures, des jeux, des activités de motricité globale (parcours motricité) ou fine (bricolage, découpage, dessin), etc. Les interactions orales sont toujours une priorité pour les animatrices, afin de stimuler la compréhension et l’expression en français, tout en laissant une place de choix à la langue maternelle de l’enfant.
  • During this time, the parents attend a presentation by a specialist and then discuss their questions or concerns with her.
  • For the last half hour, parents and children meet to share a snack and attend a reading or activity for all, related to the theme.
  • They also leave with a documentation and a list of complementary and fun readings related to the theme.
