Welcome! Bienvenue!

Pomme d'Api is a French immersion and Francophone preschool in Vancouver. We help children foster their social and cognitive development while teaching and encouraging the use of the French language. Our preschool caters to families who desire to have their children benefit from the richness of a French immersion program, as well as Francophone families who want their children to continue learning in their first language.

As a parent participation preschool, Pomme d’Api relies on parent and caregiver volunteering to operate the school. We have two staff members, our Early Childhood Educators, who are responsible for class planning and instruction. Parents and caregivers lead or contribute in all other areas, including registration, financial administration, publicity, communications, cleaning/disinfecting, facility maintenance, volunteer coordination, website management, and more. They also manage the preschool by filling positions on the Board of Directors. Pomme d’Api is community built, and it also builds community.

Le centre préscolaire Pomme d'Api offre un programme francophone et immersion française ici à Vancouver. Nous offrons aux enfants l’occasion de développer leur compétences sociales et cognitives tout en enseignant et en encourageant l'utilisation de la langue française. Notre école prématernelle s'adresse aux familles qui souhaitent faire bénéficier leurs enfants de la richesse d'un programme d'immersion française, ainsi qu'aux familles francophones qui veulent que leurs enfants continuent à approfondir leurs compétences en français langue maternelle.

La gestion et le succès de l’école Pomme d'Api dépend en grande partie du bénévolat des parents et des gardiens. Nous avons deux membres du personnel, nos éducatrices de la petite enfance, qui sont responsables de la planification des cours et de l'enseignement. Les parents et les gardiens dirigent et contribuent dans tous les autres domaines, notamment les inscriptions, l'administration financière, la publicité, la communication, le nettoyage et la désinfection, l'entretien des locaux, la coordination des bénévoles, la gestion du site web et l’occupation des rôles au sein du conseil d'administration. L’école Pomme d'Api favorise une culture de collaboration pour le bien-être de la communauté.

Le centre Pomme d'Api est situé sur le territoire traditionnel, ancestral et non cédé des Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh), Tsleil-Waututh (Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh) et Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm).

Nous reconnaissons le soutien financier de la province de la Colombie-Britannique.
