🇬🇧 English Programmes also open to  

Bilingual and International Families

 

KidooLand is also about supporting children who already speak English – and helping them thrive

​

At KidooLand, most of our children are French and learning English for the first time.
But we also have a long-standing programme for bilingual or English-speaking children, and it all started with our founder, Antonia.

 

👩‍👧‍👦 Why KidooLand was created

Antonia founded KidooLand over 18 years ago for her own bilingual children, who were attending the French school system but needed support to maintain and strengthen their English – and to prepare for entry into international sections.

​

• Her children went on to join Sartoux, César, CIV, and Fénelon International in Grasse.

• This gave her deep, first-hand insight into the preparation needed to access the top international schools in the Valbonne area.

 

Many of the original classes were designed for them – including:

• Mum & Baby sessions (now the Discovery Den)

• Playgroup (now part of the Discovery Den)

• English is Fun

• Exam Preparation classes Sartoux CIV Fenelon European

• Holiday Camps with engaging, creative, and educational themes

 

Antonia wanted to create an environment that was safe, legal, and genuinely supportive of language learning – unlike many unregulated associations at the time.

That’s why our camps and classes include STEAM (Lego, science), Art, theatre, and much more.

 

🌟 The K’ELITE Programme (Tweens & Teens)

Antonia also created K’ELITE – KidooLand English Leaders in Training Experience for her children when they were older. This is now open to those who:

• Tweens so CM2-5eme

• Already speak English well

• Want to build responsibility and leadership

• Are keen to assist teachers in class and work with younger children

 

It’s a selective programme, with limited places and 1:1 mentoring. Please note you are NOT in a group with other teenagers so it won 't suit all.

 

Participants receive a workbook and certificate at the end, and it’s best suited to children who have already grown up within the “Kidoo walls.”

its a great addition for  CVs and College / University applications for those going to US UK and Netherlands.

 

🧒 Who is this programme for?

We welcome bilingual or English-speaking children who:

• Have at least one Anglophone parent and want to build literacy, spelling, writing, and presentation skills

• Are strong in English but want to prepare for international school entry tests

• Want to build their bilingual skills  by being our chief classroom translater and presenting in both languages

• Come from international families visiting in summer, who prefer an English-speaking environment with gentle French exposure

 

For many, our classes are also a way to reconnect with their English identity, boost confidence, and enjoy learning in a creative and safe environment.
