Playgroups Our International Rainbow Playgroup sessions are for pre-schoolers where through 3 activities per session your child will have fun, meet other little friends and get used to being without you for short periods.

KidooBabes - 0-10 months

In these early months, newborns are learning to feel comfortable in the outside world.

They are working on regulating their eating and sleeping cycles and even their body temperature.

What's most important for babies during this time is to feel comfortable, safe and secure. When they do, they become better learners, they're also able to better connect with their loved ones.

All the skills newborns are developing help them achieve these two critical goals.

KidooTots - 11-36 months - Pre-schoolers

KidooGrands - Primary levels - Age 6-9 years

The best way to promote your child's healthy development at this age is to encourage lots of exploration, stimulating your child's thinking about objects, people, and how the world works.

To help your child become a thoughtful person and a life-long learner, ask loads of questions and be ready to answer them as well!

Having bilingual children is a whole new dimension to consider. Our AngloKidoo Club is a fun friendly group just for them. To meet others like them, to extend their vocabulary and build on their reading and writing skills. It's also the perfect way to keep those cultural roots from back home alive here in the south of France!

TIP:

To answer children's questions in a way they can understand, first ask what they think the answer might be. That gives you insight into their level of understanding so you can tailor your answers appropriately.
