A French playgroup made for young children

Our French playgroup gives preschool children a gentle, happy first contact with the language. Lessons feel playful, but every activity has a purpose: children hear French repeatedly, associate words with actions and objects, and begin to understand simple classroom routines.

  • Small groups for children aged 3 to 6
  • Native French-speaking teachers
  • A calm rhythm with familiar routines
  • No previous French required

Learning French through play, songs and stories

Young children learn best when language is connected to movement, sound and emotion. Each session mixes songs, picture books, games, role play, craft and sensory activities so children can recognise French words naturally before they are expected to produce them.

For beginners and French-speaking families

The class welcomes children discovering French for the first time, bilingual children and French-speaking families who want regular language exposure in Singapore. Teachers adapt the level of prompts so each child can participate, whether they answer in French, with gestures or through play.

What children practise in class

The focus is on useful early language: greetings, colours, numbers, animals, classroom words, simple instructions, feelings, family, food, seasons and everyday actions. Children also practise listening, turn-taking and confidence speaking in front of a small group.

  • Bonjour, au revoir and polite classroom phrases
  • Colours, numbers and familiar objects
  • Songs with repeated vocabulary
  • Simple questions and answers over time

A reassuring bridge to structured French classes

Regular exposure helps children develop pronunciation, listening confidence and positive feelings about French before moving into more structured primary-level children’s courses. Parents also get a clearer view of their child’s interest, readiness and preferred learning style.

Inside the class

French that feels like play

What our students say

I have learnt a lot in class and had lots of fun! I have also been able to speak confidently in French thanks to my teacher.

Oliver KohPrivate Tuition

I have enjoyed the lessons tremendously and can see the vast improvement in my French. A great teacher with a positive attitude, always willing to help. Probably one of the best French tutors I ever had. A teacher that should be recommended to anyone who has difficulty in French.

David & James's tutor listened to our study aims and she came up with very good ideas on how to proceed with various age appropriate lessons. The boys enjoyed working with their teacher. All in all a good experience !
