​​​​​​Introduction to English and foreign languages

At Monte Alto, the French-English bilingual team speaks to the children every day in English. Professionals who speak other languages host short sessions in their mother tongue. Every day, there are activities which seek to expose your child to the diversity of world languages.

All pedagogical materials and parent-relations tools are in English and French. Parents may, if they wish, follow the centre’s day-to-day life entirely in English.

Pedagogical mission

At Monte Alto, nature is a familiar playing field: gardening, recycling workshops, handling natural materials, becoming aware of living... are all part of day-to-day life. Reading time, activities designed to spur the imagination, discovering foreign languages, learning sign language, are planned every day. Moreover, our soothing environment offers little ones moments of relaxation and expression of their emotions.
