La Petite Ecole de Redbridge is a school group for bilingual children (from 3-year-olds) with at least one French-speaking parent. We are not a school but a French-speaking childrens' group run by parents.

Bilingual children will improve and learn French through play, songs, storytelling, arts, drama while having fun and meeting other children. Children are split up into age groups. We offer them activities appropriate for their age and their level in French.

Parents are invited to stay during the sessions and encouraged to take part in the groups activities as much as they can, whether by reading a story, sharing a debate, or explaining conjugation to the older children!

Where to find us:

Methodist Church Hall

We meet every Saturday morning from 10h -12h except during school holiday Calendar

The first trimester runs from September to Christmas the second from January to Easter, and the third from Easter to the end of the British academic school year in July.
