What to Expect

When you step into a Mini Mélodies class, you can expect live music, familiar songs that repeat week to week, and plenty of giggles. Children learn French naturally while they clap, bounce, and move to the rhythm. Parents are encouraged to join in too, even if singing feels a little out of your comfort zone.

The classes are relaxed, interactive, and designed to give families a chance to connect through music.

Mini Melodies is a Wonderful and Enriching Music Class for Babies & Toddlers: we’ve been attending this weekly French music class for babies & toddlers, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. These classes have become a highlight of our weekend and have had a remarkable impact on my daughter’s development. What makes this class truly special is its thoughtfully designed structure. Each session follows a familiar routine and uses the same set of songs almost every week/trimester. At first, I wasn’t sure how repetition would hold a toddler’s attention, but I quickly came to understand the meaning behind it. For little ones, consistency creates a sense of security and confidence and it shows. At just 22 months, my daughter has already memorized most of the songs and now instantly recognizes the melodies as soon as they begin.m there or at home. Watching her face light up with recognition and joy is a gift in itself.

The class also fosters early language acquisition in such a natural, engaging way. Even if your child isn’t growing up in a French-speaking household, the songs provide a fun, immersive introduction to the language. Music is such a powerful tool for learning, and this class uses it to full advantage. Beyond the cognitive and linguistic benefits, there’s something heartwarming about the shared musical experience. Parents and toddlers bonding through movement, rhythm, and singing - it's such a joyful, screen-free way to connect and grow. In short, I wouldn’t change a thing. The warmth, structure, and educational value of these classes have exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a gentle, enriching, and effective activity for your toddler, I highly recommend giving this class a try. It’s a small investment that brings lasting rewards.

Our daughter loves Mini Melodies and it has been wonderful sharing the songs of my own childhood with her. She now knows the words to a bunch of classic French children’s songs and often requests that we play them in the car. Quentin and Marie are both warm and engaging, and the classes are fun whether or not your child already speaks French.
