Centre d'appui familial — Languages

My son and I attended the weekly language program at the Centre d'appui familial in Calgary, aimed at kids aged 5-7. The instructor, Sophie, was incredibly engaging and made learning fun. My son was able to build his vocabulary through interactive games and songs, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, and he even made a new friend! However, the check-in process was a bit chaotic with long lines, which was a bit frustrating, especially for shy kids like mine who took some time to warm up. Despite that minor issue, I would recommend this program for its creative approach and supportive staff. It’s a good fit for families looking to nurture language skills in a relaxed environment.

We recently attended the language program at the Centre d'appui familial in Calgary with my 6-year-old son. The weekly sessions focus on fun, interactive activities that help kids develop their language skills. My son particularly enjoyed the creative project where they built a mini French village using craft supplies, which really engaged him. The staff, especially Marie, were attentive and made a concerted effort to include all the children, which was great for my son, who can be a bit shy. One downside was the long lines during drop-off. It would be nice if they had a more organized process to make that smoother. Overall, I think the program is worthwhile, and it’s a good way for kids to learn in a friendly environment while fostering social skills.
