How can I support my child in French if I don't speak it myself?

A computer screen says "French Support Course" with images of downloadable French activities surrounding the computer.

Let’s get to it! I need the support ASAP!

Do these thoughts sound familiar?

I'm worried that I won't be able to help my child if they start to struggle in school.
I'm uncomfortable communicating with the school, the staff, and the other parents.
I don't know how to support my child with reading in French or to help with his homework.

Never fear, the French Support Course for Parents is here ⬇️

Mother (Madame Amy) and her two young children are reading a book together

Bonjour!

My name is “Madame Amy” and I am the founder of 123 Petits Pas Inc., a certified French educator, and mother of 2 bilingual boys.

During my time as a classroom teacher I recognized the lack of resources for parents wishing to play a part in their child’s French learning, and so 123 Petits Pas became my passion project

Throughout the past 5 years I have taught French to parents and children together. During this time, I have met SO many English parents who have shared the same #1 fear:

What if I am unable to support my child through French school?

I am hoping to erase these fears with the creation of this new supportive membership for parents. 

I look forward to welcoming you into the community!

I am really enjoying your program. I have already noticed improvements based on the material from this course - i.e. i have printed off some of your materials and leave them on the kitchen table and they become the topic of conversations (in French).

{...} one of my favourite things has been the French Support Course for parents. The online community is so encouraging and the resources Madame Amy provides are exceptional: they are thoughtful, responsive to emergent needs, accessible, and beautifully produced. Questions are promptly responded to with accurate and relevant information. I can better support my son and am less anxious as an anglophone engaging with the teachers and staff- I even got up the courage to chaperone a field trip!! Merci Madame Amy!!

Thank you so much for your programs, my daughter was part of them when she was in maternelle and she was able to start in person school JK with no problem as she was comfortable with what she learned in your classes before.
