Bébés Alliance

A French language discovery program for children aged 9 months to 3 years… and their parents!

Bébés Alliance is more than just a language class — it’s a shared experience between parents and their little ones. The program is designed to spark early language awareness in young children while also giving English-speaking parents the tools to continue French exposure at home.

In a playful and nurturing environment, each session becomes a moment of connection, where music, movement, laughter, and French words come together to create a joyful learning bubble.

Our Goals

For children:

  • Discover the sounds and rhythm of the French language.
  • Build vocabulary through familiar, everyday themes (animals, colors, body parts, etc.).
  • Engage the senses through songs, miming, visual aids, and tactile play.
  • Support attention, memory, and coordination development.

For parents:

  • Learn key phrases and useful vocabulary to reuse at home.
  • Incorporate French into daily routines using simple tools (gestures, rhymes, handouts).
  • Gain confidence in supporting their child’s language journey.
  • Create meaningful moments around a new language they can enjoy.

 

5 Great Reasons to Learn French with Your Baby

  1. An “ear of gold” from day one
    Even before walking or talking, babies can distinguish sounds. This is the perfect time to introduce a new language naturally and effortlessly.
  2. A joyful and bonding ritual
    Turn your Friday mornings into cozy, musical moments with rhymes, songs, and stories. Learning is more fun when it’s shared!
  3. Long-term cognitive benefits
    Whether or not your child becomes bilingual, early exposure to another language boosts memory, focus, and creativity.
  4. A playful learning experience for parents, too
    Not a French speaker? No problem! Songs, gestures, and visual aids make every new word accessible — and fun — for you as well.
  5. A bilingual nest at home
    Thematic handouts, curated YouTube playlists, and simple daily routines help bring French into your home life in an easy and natural way.
