Established in 1979, the Janice Cummins Petite Ecole offers French-language programs for children between the ages of 4 and 12. The weekly sessions use original songs, games, poetry, role-playing, drawing exercises, movement and group activities. Madame Cummins describes her method as "eclectic in approach and active in nature" and says it is "rooted in the intuitive learning of sentence structure".
