Choosing a preschool is a big decision. Choosing a language immersion program is an even bigger one. It is not only the foundation of a child’s education, but it is also the first step to opening the door to a lifetime of bilingualism and multiculturalism. It is one of the most wonderful gifts to give children, and it is an entry point to a new and diverse community of friends that will last a lifetime. Smith Street Maternelle strives to be at the heart of that community for our families. We offer: 1. an incredible team of bilingual educators who are continually designing and re-adjusting curricula adapted to your child’s needs 2. beautiful, modern, bright, clean and playful newly constructed spaces with every design detail intended to foster a child’s growing independence and happiness 3. expert-led talks, and fun events for families, students, and staff. We have developed a teaching philosophy based on the fundamentals of language immersion education that blends influences from Reggio Emilia, Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner and the Developmental-Interaction approach. At Smith Street Maternelle, children are encouraged to play and explore. They become active ...learners and critical thinkers. We are happiest when children leave us as confident, curious, fluent French speakers who are ready for their next school adventure. À très bientôt!
