A Waldorf Inspired Experience

1. Language Through Imagination & Play

In the spirit of Waldorf pedagogy, children are immersed in French through creative storytelling, dramatic play, circle songs, puppet shows, and seasonal crafts encouraging natural, joyful language absorption.

2. Rhythm & Ritual

Each workshop follows a gentle, predictable rhythm: morning welcome, artistic exploration, outdoor or movement-based activity, followed by a reflective group closure. This nurtures security, focus, and emotional engagement.

3. Nature, Craft, and Culture

Workshops often include natural materials, handwork (clay, watercolor, felting, beeswax modeling), or seasonal cooking. Themes are connected to Francophone traditions (e.g., “Les saisons en Provence,” “La nature au Québec,” “Masques du Carnaval Africain”).

4. Whole-Child Learning

Activities develop head (thinking), heart (feeling), and hands (doing) — promoting bilingual expression, fine motor skills, cultural awareness, and inner confidence.

Sample Workshop Themes

  • Contes d’hiver & Lanternes de lumière (Winter stories and lantern-making)

  • Jardin en français (Nature scavenger hunt & seed planting)

  • Cuisine & Comptines (French baking and folk songs)

  • Le Petit Théâtre (Puppet-making and story dramatization)

  • La Fête des Couleurs (French-Indian Holi celebration with natural dyes)

Workshop Goals

  • Foster intuitive language learning through beauty, rhythm, and play

  • Cultivate creativity, self-expression, and cultural wonder

  • Encourage connection to nature and the seasons

  • Build community among bilingual and Francophile families
