Notre Histoire - Our Story
123 Petits Pas was founded in January 2018 by a local French teacher, Mme Amy, who saw the need for support for parents hoping to raise bilingual children. Her desire to raise her own son bilingually sparked the idea of teaching parents and young children at the same time in order to ensure that all children could have the opportunity to experience French as soon as possible! The demand for 123 Petits Pas Parent & Child French programming continues to grow, as does the 123 Petits Pas team.
From In-Person to Online:
Although 123 Petits Pas began as an in-person program in Ottawa, Ontario, as word spread, parents from all over Canada began emailing asking us for support in raising bilingual children. In order to help as many families as possible, 123 Petits Pas began holding online classes. We now offer both pre-recorded and live virtual French programming for parents and 0-9 year olds.

Meet "Madame Amy"
👋 Bonjour! I’m Amy (aka “Madame Amy”), a certified French teacher, mom of two, and the creator of 123 Petits Pas. I believe French learning should be FUN, ACCESSIBLE, and STRESS-FREE for families- yes, even if you don’t speak French yourself!
With a background in theatre and education, I bring storytelling, music, and movement into every lesson. I’m raising my own bilingual kids– so I KNOW what works. And now, I’m sharing all my best tips and strategies with you!
