History

Established in 1983.

The French Immersion Program was started in 1983 by a group of parents who decided to establish a preschool where children of 3 to 5 years of age could be introduced to the French language through a «creative play» experience.

The Programme Francophone was established in September of 1994. It is designed for French speaking children and for children of French speaking parent (s). This program includes the Modèle de Francisation distributed by the Association of Francophone Parents to only 10 preschools throughout the whole province.
