Preschool
How did I go from teaching high school French to having my own preschool? Two words: Willow and Echo. I simply wanted my twin daughters to attend a wonderful, nurturing, stimulating French program. They, along with a handful of other children, made up my very first class in 2009.
The curriculum that I have developed incorporates my Bachelor’s of Education Degree, over 25 years of experience teaching French in a variety of schools and grades, my Master’s in Language and Literacy, as well as my Degree in Early Childhood Education. Most importantly, my curriculum was designed with my own kids in mind.
Making meaningful connections with others is very important to me, and I take pride in the community of children and parents that has been created through the years at La petite ecole. I welcome you to take a look through my testimonials of my community and I am always grateful that most families who come here are referred by others.
My preschool is located on the ground floor of my family home. In each class, we have 8 students and 2 teachers. Our program is very structured and has a balance of “set” activities as well as open-ended ones which all promote social, emotional, as well as cognitive growth, and a sense of community.
Accepting applications for Sept 2025-June 2026 school year
At this time, we are full for our current 2024-2025 school year. We are now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year. We seek the best fit for our classes, and we do start to conduct family interviews in Fall 2024, before the Winter Break.
After your application is complete, including payment of $100.00, we will reach out to set up a private visit with you and your child. Visits are approximately 30-45min and take place mornings before our class or during our lunch break. We look forward to welcoming you and your family.

We are proud to have an excellent ratio of 8 students and 2 teachers for our classes, and we curate our classes with care. There are 3 terms in each school year (Fall, Winter, and Spring). There is flexibility of placement of students as we strive to find the best fit for the child and class. If your child is born early 2023 and shows they are capable, they may be suited for a 3 year old class. The above schedule is subject to change prior to offers of spots.
