La Jolie Ronde for Tots

Brand New to La Jolie Ronde is the introduction of classes especially for Tots.  Bring your tots to these classes in the Leeds area and enjoy time with other like minded Mums, Dads, Grandparents and Carers while your little one enjoys learning French.

Classes take place at The Gingerbread Cottage Play Centre, Lawnswood - new classes and venues are starting in September! Please get in touch for further information.

Other sessions can also be arranged depending on interest, so please let us know if you prefer a different time.

We use the brand new La Jolie Ronde nursery programme 'Viens jouer avec Matou et Tounette', which has been developed specifically for children aged 2 to 4 and is fully in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum.  Your child will complete a workbook each week and you will also have a CD to listen to and sing along with at home.

Each class is full of games, activities, rhymes, songs and plenty of fun! Parents also get the chance to practice & learn French!

The first session is Free and will show you just how much your child will enjoy learning French with La Jolie Ronde. 

Siblings are welcome to join in as well at no extra cost. If you start part way through the term, you only pay for the rest of the term.

The cost is £4.50 per session, the workbook and CD is £15 which will last a minimum of 1 year.

Here's what some other parents have said about the classes:

"Both my children have been to the tots French class and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a fun, relaxed and brilliant introduction to learning another language."  Claire

"I've found La Jolie Ronde classes to be imaginative and fun, both for my daughter and for me. Each class is well structured with activities which really catch the imagination - finding animals hidden around the room, guessing what's in the bag, pretending to be the monkey who takes socks off the clothes line - so that the children stay focused, but also really enjoy themselves. Jane, our teacher, is always gentle and patient, always interested in the children, and there is a great atmosphere in the class. And the children learn a great deal - my daughter will often surprise me by pointing at something and calling it by its French name. (her current favourite is "arc en ciel".) And for me, it's lovely to hear French again. I would thoroughly recommend La Jolie Ronde classes."  Jane

"Both my boys have loved attending ‘La Jolie Ronde’ classes as pre-schoolers with their wonderful teacher, Madame Jane, who makes every class an enchanting experience with puppets, games, songs and stories As my eldest son made the transition to primary school, his confidence with French has really helped him to settle in to the habit of listening and learning another language. The cds that accompany the course are excellent, the boys insist on listening to them on every car journey!"
