"Vive La Parole has been a great French program for my son who is attending the French Immersion program. He learns a lot and I hear him speaking more confidently in French. The teachers are very friendly and the way they teach is fun and keeps the kids engaged."
"Franco-Fun really was a fun way for my daughter to learn more vocabulary in French and have a chance to meet some new people. It brought a change to daily online learning that has lost its lustre."
"The CPF program was definitely a bonus for my daughter in Grade 1. Normally a very shy child, she has come out of her shell and wants to continue with the program! Will definitely be registering her again if the opportunity arises."
"The ‘French Reading Circle’ was a great way for my son to expand on his current French reading, speaking, and comprehension skills. He also had the opportunity to socialize with others his age who spoke in French. Programs like these are as rare as a beautiful diamond. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity because it's much appreciated in these hard times. :)"
"CPF Ontario has given my children an intensive French language [experience] during summer vacation. Kids were able to confidently read French and pushed them forward to learn more. I would like to thank all the teachers and volunteers coming forward to make a change in our children's French learning journey. I really appreciate your valuable time."
"Our children have been participating in this program for a few years now and I am truly thankful this program exists and it's virtual. The convenience of the program is truly notable. With our children being in a non-French speaking household there isn't any room to expand on school base knowledge, so this resource is definitely needed and appreciated."
“I have seen my daughter's confidence grow. I have seen her falling in love with the language. She now plays games online in French and reads books in French without me even asking.”
“My delight in the program as a newcomer in Canada is the interest and confidence it gave our daughter to explore speaking the French language. She learned a lot during each session and never wanted to miss any class.”
“My daughter enjoyed the program so much and was so engaged every day and this helped her keep her French active and not lose anything learned over the school year!”
“This program is nothing short of perfect! The teacher is amazing, the program is age appropriate, and they learn SO much! This exceeded my expectations by a landslide. Can't wait to enroll my kids in more programs.”
“My child benefited from this program by learning more vocabulary and issues in the world in French such as climate change.”
“I have been enrolling my daughter in programs offered by CPF for the last 3 years now. She enjoys attending the programs. Her dream is to conduct such programs through CPF once she grows up.”
"We are so grateful for the ongoing support that CPF has given our family through its many programs. Because of CPF, my kids have developed a love for the French language and culture."
"I've watched my son's confidence speaking, understanding and conversing in French improve over the last two weeks. I only wish we could access this all the time to really reinforce French language development outside of the classroom."

"This program was the perfect amount of daily practice in a fun manner with a group of unfamiliar students. The environment created by the teacher allowed for the students to feel comfortable speaking French even though they didn't know each other! It was fantastic!"
