Our Programs and Curriculum

At Petit Loup Academy, our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning through play, exploration, and a supportive French-immersion environment. Grounded in Finnish educational principles, our curriculum addresses every facet of a child’s growth—intellectual, emotional, social, and physical—while preparing them for success at elite schools around the globe.

We welcome children ages 3 through 5 into small, language-rich classrooms that foster individual attention. Our low student-to-teacher ratios ensure each child’s needs and interests are met.

Daily routine

While each day brings its own discoveries, here’s a glimpse of our general schedule:

Play-Based & Inquiry-Based Approach

​

We believe play is a child’s natural language—an essential way to explore ideas, build confidence, and foster independence. Our educators serve as facilitators, guiding children’s curiosity with open-ended questions, hands-on experiments, and collaborative projects. This approach cultivates:

  • Social-Emotional Growth – Children learn empathy, communication, and teamwork.
     

  • Cognitive Development – They discover how to explore, hypothesize, and draw conclusions within real-life contexts.
     

  • Intrinsic Motivation – Engaging, playful experiences nurture a genuine excitement for learning.

French Immersion Highlights

​

From the moment children step into our classrooms, they are immersed in the French language through:

  • Morning Greetings & Songs – Daily French-led salutations and singalongs boost vocabulary and comfort with the language.
     

  • Stories & Role-Play – Children practice new words in interactive story times and imaginative play scenarios.
     

  • Cultural Celebrations – Festive events highlight Francophone customs, helping students form cross-cultural connections.
     

  • Everyday Classroom Routines – Teachers use French for transitions, instructions, and casual dialogue, making language acquisition both natural and fun.
     

​

Holistic Development & Sustainability

​

Aligned with our Finnish inspiration, we incorporate environmental stewardship and a whole-child focus throughout our curriculum:

  • Organic Materials & Toys – We prioritize non-toxic, sustainably sourced items that are gentle on both children and the earth.
     

  • Eco-Friendly Practices – Through composting, recycling, and energy conservation, students learn respect for our shared environment.
     

  • Balanced Growth – By addressing emotional, social, physical, and cognitive aspects of development, we help children build resilience and well-rounded life skills.
