Learning French in the early years
An overview presentation of the CPF Advocacy – Oriented Research Brief 2022 by Dr. Wendy Carr, CPF National board of directors
Early childhood is not only a critical stage in a child’s cognitive, emotional and social development; it is also a significant time for language acquisition. It is a point where CPF can expand its advocacy focus from K to 12+ to birth to Grade 12+.
