Petite Academy French Immersion Childcare has been serving New Westminster families for over 8 years, specialising in full-time French immersion daycare for children aged 18 months to 5 years. What makes them easy to recommend is their clear focus: daily French language exposure in a warm, play-based setting combined with small group sizes that help children gain confidence quickly.

Their centre offers morning and afternoon programs, a licensed toddler room and preschool room, and a structured daily routine that balances free play, circle time, outdoor play and rest. They use Les Petits Explorateurs curriculum resources and Montessori-inspired learning materials to support early literacy and numeracy in French. Snack and lunch options follow Canadian nutrition guidelines, and the facility includes a fenced outdoor play area and sensory corner for quiet activities.

The team at Petite Academy is mostly francophone, with Early Childhood Educators holding ECEA certifications and current Emergency First Aid training. Teachers rotate through language-focused activities, guided play, music and storytelling, so children hear French across the day rather than in isolated lessons. The centre shares regular progress notes and monthly portfolios with families, and hosts parent-teacher evenings where caregivers see language milestones and classroom work firsthand.

Local families choose Petite Academy because it delivers practical immersion in a neighbourhood setting. Parents appreciate the centre’s proximity to the Queensborough and Downtown New West routes, consistent hours for commuter schedules, and the approachable staff who answer questions by phone or in person. For families wanting their child to enter kindergarten with solid French foundations and confident social skills, Petite Academy offers real, everyday practice and supportive teachers who know the community.
