Vancouver Bilingual is unique among area preschools in combining an excellent preschool education with bilingual instruction in both English and French. It is the perfect start to French immersion!
My eldest son went to this preschool for 2 years, and we loved it so much, we were thrilled to enroll his younger sister as well. Even with a change in teachers (one retired), we have found consistent warmth and care given. My son has gone on to excel in French immersion, and my daughter sings songs to herself as well as with her brother every day. The teachers are gentle, caring, and clearly love their work. I cannot speak highly enough of them or of our experience with this school.
We love this preschool and it’s wonderful program! My son has been coming home spouting off new French vocabulary and songs after being enrolled for just 2 months. It’s a great mix of play and education, plus fine arts as well. I’d highly recommend this school, especially if you are considering French immersion and want to have early exposure to the language.
The school has been a wonderful experience for my daughter these last two years. She is delighted to go to school every day and always tells me she had fun when she comes home. By the end of her first year, she could count to 10 and sing the alphabet entirely in French, she could name simpler shapes, some colours and was pointing at different objects, asking how to say that in French. She is now in her second year of preschool and saying much more. Overall, I am very happy with my choice.
We are having a great experience with this place. Both of my kids started attending this place since they were 3 years old. They picking up new words and skills everyday and would occasionally amaze me with their innovative art work and handcraft.
Preschool is at very busy Oak st and 49th ave with lots of traffic. This year teachers found a child in my son's class alone near a bus stop on Oak st. Front door is old and the child was able to open it without teachers/parents knowing. School has not fixed problem and this is not acceptable and scary to hear as a parent. My son tells me teachers often yell at kids during class. Also preschool has not been allowing parents to volunteer with children saying that it is disruptive.
