EFAC Kindergarten
Where Bilingual Beginnings Blossom
At the French American School of Chicago (EFAC), we believe in the power of early bilingual education. Our Kindergarten program offers a vibrant start to your child’s educational journey, a year before mandatory schooling begins at age 6.
Designed for Bilingual Minds: Our Kindergarten is specifically crafted for children fluent in French, whether through their family environment or previous immersion in a French-speaking setting. This foundational year is crucial for solidifying their linguistic skills, fostering a deep connection with the language, and preparing them for a seamless transition into formal education.
A Day in EFAC Kindergarten: Each day from 8:45 AM to 3:45 PM, our students immerse themselves in two hours of dedicated French instruction, complemented by the engaging Kindergarten program at Abraham Lincoln in English. This blend ensures a balanced bilingual exposure, critical for cognitive development and cultural fluency.
Learning Through Play: At EFAC, we believe that the best learning happens through joy and creativity. Our approach to reading and writing involves playful, engaging activities—songs, games, art projects, and crafts—designed to inspire love for learning. This method not only makes education fun but also highly effective, catering to the diverse needs and interests of our young learners.
Expertise and Passion: Our teaching team, composed entirely of native French-speaking professionals, brings a wealth of experience and a passion for education. Their expertise ensures that every child receives personalized attention, nurturing their abilities and fostering a positive and enriching learning environment.
