Why French?
The benefits of exposing young children to a second language
Where Language Adventures Begin at 6 Months
Language for Little Learners
At Bonjour Babies, we start teaching languages to little ones as young as 6 months old.
Why? Because we know it’s never too early to begin!
While learning can certainly occur at any age, research shows starting early provides unique advantages in language skills and cognitive abilities. Bonjour babies is an opportunity to immerse them in the world of language from the very beginning, fostering a lifelong love for communication.
Benefits of Your Child Learning a Second Language
Tiny Talkers, Huge Benefits
Current research supports the following cognitive and developmental advantages of raising a bilingual/multilingual child.
Sociocultural Benefits
Bilingualism provides access to different cultures, perspectives, and experiences. It fosters diversity, empathy, and understanding of various ways of thinking and expressing emotions.
Cognitive Benefits
Bilingualism has cognitive advantages such as improved attention control, problem-solving skills, and cognitive flexibility. It stimulates the brain and enhances executive function, potentially delaying the onset of dementia in later life.
Literacy Development
Exposure to multiple languages, especially in early childhood, supports literacy development in both languages. Reading books, storytelling, and engaging in various language-rich activities contribute to vocabulary growth and language proficiency.
Educational Advantages
Bilingualism offers educational advantages, including higher levels of language proficiency, academic achievement, and cognitive flexibility. It opens doors to bilingual and multilingual education programs, providing enriching learning experiences.

What Parents say
Absolutely loves it!
“I’ve been taking my little girl to Bonjour Babies since she was 9 months old. She absolutely loves it. Now she is 20 months, and at dinner the other night she suddenly started singing one of the French songs we sing each week. It really goes in! It’s a beautiful class, with beautiful atmosphere and a beautiful teacher!”
~ Pip & Millie
Highly recommended
“My son has been attending Bonjour babies classes for a year since he was 2 years old.
I am very happy with my son’s progress in that time. He counts, knows colours, sings songs, expresses emotions, tells weather and more!
The teachers super friendly and the environment is fun and warm. Highly recommended.”
