“The Creation Station has really helped Owen develop lots of skills. He is a lot more confident in what he creates, and the weekly classes have helped his concentration and the ability to share. It’s also given us more ideas of activities to together at home and when we are out and about. Thank you very much, Owen and I love coming" Owens Daddy

Using art, craft music & movement…and a little bit of magic, the children (and parents/carers!) are inspired to create their own journey of discovery. The mark making, funky objects and learning that develops is shared and enjoyed with the other children and adults. See some of our activities on our site.

What’s on 4 Kids 2017 Awards – Voted Best National Activity for Children aged 5-12 years old - 4th consecutive year - Voted for by Parents & Children

For over 30 years La Jolie Ronde has been a unique centre for learning not just a second language but a platform for introducing children to the everyday realities of the country and the culture they are studying. Our award winning programme, for 0-12 years, contains stories, action poems, chants, songs and games enabling children to learn whilst having fun! Children progress through the programme and there are different starting points so children can start learning French or Spanish whatever their age following a programme tailored to their age group. Topics are based on real life situations suited to the interest, experience and social development of each age group.

WHY LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE?

• ENHANCE LIFE SKILLS - Speaking another language opens the door to new possibilities & opportunities. Travel and lifelong friendships are built with the people you meet along the way if you're able to communicate easily
• DEVELOP CONFIDENCE & SELF ESTEEM - Learning a second language is incredibly rewarding and can enrich personal life too. We encourage children to use language in real life situations which in turn will enable them to overcome fears and doubts leaving them feeling much more confident
• BOOST OTHER LEARNING - Research has found that pupils who study foreign languages, tend to score better at standardised tests than their monolingual peers. This has been particularly noticeable in maths, reading, and vocabulary
• IMPROVE YOUR EMPLOYABILITY - Our globalised world means companies are constantly expanding overseas plus dealing with clients from all over the world. Speaking a second language enables you to communicate with a broader network
