La Coccinelle Preschool — Languages

We enrolled our 4-year-old at La Coccinelle Preschool in Calgary and have had a solid experience overall. The French immersion program is structured yet playful, featuring songs and interactive games that keep the children engaged. My daughter, who tends to be shy, really opened up during the activity where they built a small model of a house while practicing their French vocabulary. Ana, the instructor, was particularly good at encouraging the kids to speak up and participate, which I appreciated. One small annoyance was the long lines during pickup; it can get a bit chaotic, especially with younger kids who are eager to leave. Still, the supportive community and the small group size made it easier for my daughter to make friends and feel included. We plan to continue with the program, as I believe it's a great way for her to develop language skills in a fun environment. Just be prepared for some delays during pickup hours.

My daughter has been attending La Coccinelle Preschool in Calgary for a few months now, and overall, we've had a positive experience. The instructors, like Sophie, are incredibly engaged and really connect with the kids. They’ve introduced her to French songs and fun games, which has sparked her interest in languages. I appreciate the small group size, allowing for more individual attention. One small annoyance was the long lines during pickup time—sometimes it felt chaotic as parents juggled kids and bags. However, my daughter has made friends and looks forward to her weekly classes. If you have a shy child who enjoys creative activities, this program could be a great fit, but just be prepared for a bit of a wait at pickup.
