French experience required.
We warmly invite you to join us for
a complimentary Family class
French that doesn't stop when class ends
Learning a language becomes much more meaningful when children have opportunities to hear it, use it, and experience it again in everyday life.
French for the Whole Family brings together two complementary experiences:
🐜 French Family Class
Experience French with your child.
Parents and children learn together through songs, stories, movement, nature exploration, games, and hands-on discoveries.
Saturdays · 2:00–3:00 PM
📍 Pomme de Pin Preschool & public park nearby, Renton
🦋 Everyday French for Parents
Bring French into everyday family life.
A relaxed, practical class for parents who want to feel more comfortable speaking French with their child during meals, bedtime, getting dressed, car rides, outdoor adventures, and all the little moments in between.
Thursdays · 7:30–8:30 PM
💻 Live online — join from home
One registration includes up to two parents/caregivers from the same household.
HOW IT WORKS
One theme. Five weeks. A different discovery every time.
Each module explores a broad seasonal or everyday-life theme over five weeks.
That doesn't mean repeating the same lesson five times.
Each week brings something new — new vocabulary, stories, songs, games, experiments, creative activities, and experiences — while familiar French naturally comes back in different contexts.
This gentle repetition helps children move from simply hearing French to recognizing it, understanding it, and beginning to use it with confidence.
LEARN IT.
Discover useful French through meaningful experiences.
PRACTICE IT.
Build confidence through repetition, conversation, and everyday situations.
LIVE IT.
Bring everything together through Partons à l'aventure!
Partons à l'aventure !
Experience French in action.
The final Family Class of each module is a special hands-on or real-life experience designed to bring together the French explored throughout the previous weeks.
Depending on the theme, families might:
-
cook and share a recipe together
-
explore a farmers market
-
visit a library or museum
-
discover a garden or nature trail
-
create something together
-
take part in playful French family missions
Through guided exploration and simple language challenges, children and parents have an opportunity to use French together in a meaningful, memorable way.
FRENCH BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Families receive simple resources that make it easier to keep French present naturally between sessions.

WHY ADD EVERYDAY FRENCH FOR PARENTS?
The Family Class creates the experience.
Everyday French for Parents helps you bring it home.
Your child may experience French for one hour each week.
The Parent sessions help French become part of the other 167 hours.
During the live online sessions, you'll have your own space to:
-
learn useful everyday French
-
practice speaking
-
ask questions
-
make mistakes
-
improve your pronunciation
-
build confidence
-
learn expressions you can use immediately with your child
You might learn how to say:
Tu veux quoi pour le petit-déjeuner ?
Où sont tes chaussures ?
On se lave les mains.
Tu veux lire une histoire ?
Il est l'heure de mettre ton pyjama.
Regarde les fleurs !
Tu as faim ?
Bonne nuit. Fais de beaux rêves.
Small phrases can gradually become shared French routines your family uses every day.
🍂 THIS FALL
🍎 Module 1 — Les saveurs de l'automne!
Fall Fruits, Harvest & Cooking
We'll explore fall fruits through taste, touch, observation, nature, stories, vocabulary, seeds, trees, harvest, and cooking.
Each Saturday will bring a different discovery as children explore questions such as:
Which fruits do we harvest in fall?
How can we describe a fruit?
How can we say whether we like it or not?
What is inside a fruit?
How does a seed become a tree?
How can we make applesauce?
🎒 Partons à l'aventure!
For our final experience, families will bring everything together by preparing and sharing our own compote de pommes.

At Pomme de Pin, French isn't treated simply as something to memorize.
Children encounter language through connection, curiosity, movement, stories, nature, creativity, and meaningful experiences.
Parents are given practical ways to become part of that journey.
Our hope is that French gradually becomes something your family doesn't only learn... but something you share.
