La Coccinelle Preschool — Daycare & Preschool in Calgary, Alberta

What parents say

• Konrad Paley

  Sending our daughters to La Coccinelle prior to kindergarten was one of the best decisions we’ve made for them. The teachers truly care about their overall development and they now often incorporate French into their regular conversation at home. Can’t wait to be back when our toddler is old enough!

• Yanti K

  My son loves going to La Coccinelle preschool. The teachers there are fantastic with kids, and they have a blast with arts, crafts, stories, and singing. Sending my son here was the best choice ever! He can't wait for preschool every day!

• Melody Rose

  Such an amazing preschool. Our son has loved attending it this year and Madame Claudette is absolutely the most patient, kind and thoughtful teacher. You can just tell she loves children and helping them learn. The art projects and games she plans for the kids have them fully engaged and my son comes home after each class just talking and talking about the things they did that day. He is set up so well for kindergarten in September but we will miss la coccinelle a lot!

• Suzanne McCormack

  Our family has been fortunate enough to have had all three of our boys enrolled at La Coccinelle for their preschool education. I can think of no better way to prepare my kids for French Immersion elementary than to have them attend a French Immersion preschool program. It sets them up for success in what could otherwise be a very stressful kindergarten experience. Many of the friends my children have made have gone on to their French Immersion elementary school as well. The teachers are wonderful, patient, caring professionals and the level of French instruction has exceeded my expectations. At 3 and 4 years old, my kids were saying French phrases, singing French songs and acquiring large amounts of vocabulary. The classroom is a vibrant, fun and safe environment where the kids are always excited to go and explore. There are crafts, puppet shows, special presentations, music, gross motor activities and plenty of stories and themed parties. The creativity of the teachers knows no bounds. As a parent cooperative, I would challenge anyone to find a harder working group of caring and like minded parents. It's such a wonderful little community and our parents are very dedicated to La Coccinelle. I am so fortunate to have found this school for my boys and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a quality French Immersion preschool experience for their child.

  Best French Immersion pre-school. Just steps away from University of Calgary. My daughter has learned so many French words within few months. They focus on soft skills, art and crafts & personality and speech development. Students have a gym class as well. I love this school for promoting diversity and inclusivity. Madame Claudette and Madame Olga are super kind and co-operative. My daughter loves her teachers.
