Did you know that the Burnaby French Language Preschool (BFLP) has deep roots in our community’s dedication to bilingual education? 🌱📘

For five decades, BFLP has been a cornerstone for French early learning in Burnaby — and it all began with the passion and perseverance of local parents. This grassroots movement was supported by none other than Canadian Parents for French - BC & Yukon, a charitable organization devoted to promoting and supporting French as a second language across our province and beyond. 🙌✨

Organizations like CPF have empowered generations of families to embrace French language learning, creating a lasting impact that continues to grow. From classroom support to cultural celebrations, CPF’s work has been instrumental in shaping our preschool’s story. Watch "The Legacy Project - Burnaby Chapter Founders" to hear about the journey from BFLP's founders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_-KMahjONY

Merci to all who have been part of this journey! 💙💛

Saviez-vous que Burnaby French Language Preschool (BFLP) est profondément ancrée dans l'engagement de notre communauté envers l'éducation bilingue ? 🌱📘

Depuis cinq décennies, BFLP est un pilier de l'apprentissage précoce du français à Burnaby, et tout a commencé grâce à la passion et à la persévérance des parents locaux. Ce mouvement populaire a été soutenu par Canadian Parents for French – BC & Yukon (CPF), un organisme de bienfaisance voué à la promotion et au soutien du français langue seconde dans notre province et au-delà. 🙌✨

Des organismes comme CPF ont permis à des générations de familles d'adopter l'apprentissage du français, créant ainsi un impact durable qui ne cesse de croître. Du soutien en classe aux célébrations culturelles, le travail de CPF a joué un rôle déterminant dans l'histoire de notre école maternelle.
