Hello everybody, I'm Emilie, director of ABC, the following minutes will be about ABC and a little bit more about me. I am French-american, born in New York, lived in San Diego, California and now I am here.
ABC has opened for the first time on November 21st, 2020. We have different missions. We are here to support natural bilingualism among children, awake the artistic sense and encourage civility and we also want to make children more independent.
ABC has many idea for this coming year: we are going to start a chess tournament with a beginner and an advanced workshops on Saturday 21st of January. We continue the weekend on Sunday 22nd with the celebration of the Chinese new year. We will have the day camps, the first week of the school holidays and it will be about wellness, something zen including sound healing. We will also have the magic week on the second week, which will be about Magic.
The Wednesday Kids Club starts by saying "good morning". We ask children to come here with one foot on the English language thus we start by that. The days often come with a theorical part in the morning that we then put in ptactice in the afternoon.
My personal background, is to have worked in the United States in the SDFAS school, San Diego French American School, that is located in San Diego in the United States. I have also worked in Montessori schools there. I hold a degree in costumes design and a degree in baking, which has led me to wish to put a bit of all that together.
ABC proposes different activities for different age groups. We have the Toddler's Workshops that is oriented to children that are less than 3 years old and that takes place in the morning during the week. We have the Wednesday Kids Club that serves as an English language support for children between 5 and 11 years of age.
We have the weekend Workshops that are punctual workshops with varied themes, these usually are 3-hour sessions. We have as well the Birthdays that are on demand and we also have the Events, the last one was "Thanksgiving". We shared a meal with the children and we were able to experience this cultural tradition that is an American festivity.
I started this adventure to put together all my knowledge and skills that I have and I love working with children, they are eager to learn and thus we never stop learning with them.
I love working with children. Everyday goes by so quickly that we do not really have the impression of being at work. I think we learn as much as them.
At ABC we have different spaces for children. We first start the day with the main room, that is where we welcome the children and do most of our activities like for example the baking or any culinary sessions
We also have the play room that is where the children make their own little land and boost their imagination.
We also have a space for painting that we call the activity room where we do anything that is manual and artistic
and we have the reading room where children enjoy reading books, of cours, and have their quiet moment during the day. We have a guitar for them at their disposition if they feel like strumming the chords.
You can find us on the social networks. We are present on Instagram, ABC PACA, and Facebook as well. We are located in Antibes on 620 Première avenue close to Villaverde and Carrefour. See you soom at ABC.
