Notre Histoire
Our “recipe” begins over 19 years ago, when Suzanne Lefebvre-Warner created Chef à l’école to assist teachers in motivating their students into having fun with French. The French are known for their “Joie de vivre” and their love for good food; mixing these two ingredients together in the classroom was a delicious combination!
Today, under the ownership of Susanne Thériault-Golds (yes, another Susanne!), this hands-on cultural activity still continues to support French teachers and their students, all across Ontario. With a fresh new “batch” of JOIE and an excitement for learning, this program will encourage anyone to love French!
Let our Chefs add in a “dash” of French music, a “pinch” of spoon-playing, a “splash” of storytelling and a “heaping” amount of cultural fun into your classroom. What will come out of the “oven” will be an interactive learning experience that will have French students saying “nous aimons le Français” and definitely coming back for more!
