LeRoux Froebel Bilingual School is committed to providing a learning environment that supports and fosters children’s freedom of expression, growing independence, and positive self-esteem.  We believe that every child is of equal importance, and we work to create an atmosphere of acceptance, where children like and respect themselves and others.  Play is a child’s work, and our children are exposed to play-oriented activities in both English and French.

Froebel’s Philosophy Applied

Group activities, with five to seven children playing with a teacher, games which are age appropriate, interesting, fun, and also educational are the teaching norm.  These games promote cooperation, sharing, taking turns, and learning to give and take.  They involve socialization, communication, and learning skills.  Our teachers respect the children’s spontaneous activities.  They know how to pick up on ideas originated by the children, and how to develop them into significant projects.  They know when to introduce a game to spur the children on to self-chosen work.  Our teachers are able to judge the efficacy of their methods by the children’s reactions: joy and eagerness are the criteria of success.
