Frequently ASked questions

Do you have any questions in mind? 

What is the lesson programme of the snowy kindergarten?
The program is established respecting the children's pace. Skiing is approached through games, with a break in the esf chalet where they can eat the snack you slipped in their pockets earlier, so don't forget to do so! Tests and medal presentations take place on Fridays.
Does my child need a ski pass?
No, they won't need one in the Snowy Kindergarten.
Furthermore, the ski pass is free for children under 5 years old (Proof of age required)
Morning, Afternoon or Full-day lessons?
For 3-year-olds, prioritise half-days. If your child is an early riser, the morning class is ideal. If they prefer to sleep in, the afternoon club is better.
For 4 to 5-year-olds, both morning and afternoon lessons are possible. Please note, the esf does not provide meals. You'll need to pick up your child at 12:30pm for lunch.
Can we attend the lessons?
Wanting to observe your child is perfectly normal! However, this can disrupt the lesson and may exacerbate your little one's tears. Instead, ask the instructor for a brief update at the end of the session."
What if my child cries on the first day?
The instructors at our "kindergarten" are experienced in recognising separation tears related to the fear of the unknown. They will do everything they can to reassure and distract your little one. Communication with parents is essential.
WHAT LANGUAGES DO THE INSTRUCTORS SPEAK?
Our instructors speak English and French.
For little ones
