Early Footprints Project: French Reading Activity at Morden Daycare

We are pleased to announce the success of our recent visit to Pembina Valley Childcare Centre as part of the Early Footprints project. This initiative promotes early literacy and a love for reading in French among young children. During the event, a Grade 5 French Immersion class visited a Pre-K class, where the older students read stories about starting Kindergarten and guided the younger children in reading French books. The project aims to foster a love for reading in French and emphasize its importance as a second language from an early age. The event concluded with ice cream sandwiches, and each Pre-K student received French Footprints handouts and a French book to take home. Encouraged by our success in Morden, we plan to visit more daycares and early learning centers to continue promoting French literacy. To host an event in your community, please contact kgreen@cpf.com.

The French Immersion Program in Manitoba aims to develop confident, plurilingual global citizens and is offered in 115 public schools across 23 school divisions. There are no independent French Immersion schools. The program features two delivery models: single-track (entire school population in French Immersion) and dual-track (French Immersion and English programs coexist). Entry points include Early Immersion (Kindergarten or Grade 1), Middle Immersion (Grade 4), and Late Immersion (Grade 6 or 7). Benefits of enrolling in French Immersion include cognitive enhancement, early bilingual proficiency, cultural enrichment, improved communication skills, academic excellence, better career opportunities, easier travel, long-term cognitive health, strong cultural connections, and personal growth. The enrollment process involves researching schools, contacting and visiting them, preparing documents, and submitting applications.
