Organizing childcare is a challenge for many parents, especially during school holidays. Working parents often need to find solutions for their children's care during summer, Christmas, Easter, or All Saints' Day holidays. In this article, we will share some tips for arranging childcare for your child during school holidays.
Planning is essential to find the best childcare solution for your child during school holidays. Start by checking the exact school holiday dates in your region and create a calendar. Then, identify activities offered by leisure centers or local associations. Don't hesitate to ask your acquaintances for recommendations; ask your colleagues, friends, and family if they know of any childcare solutions during school holidays. They might recommend interesting and reliable options.
If you need more personalized childcare, you can hire a babysitter to look after your child at home. The babysitter can care for your child full-time or part-time, depending on your needs. Additionally, some professionals offer to find an English-speaking “nanny” to help familiarize your child with the English language. For example, you can easily find the right person on Momji or Ma Nannie +, which offers activity programs.
Before hiring a babysitter, make sure to check their references, experience, and childcare training.
Some establishments, often bilingual schools, offer innovative ways of looking after children during the school vacations! For example, vacation courses in English are an excellent way to look after your children during the school vacations. They offer educational, fun and sporting activities adapted to each age group, with the opportunity to discover or deepen their knowledge of a language. English language courses are becoming increasingly popular for children wishing to improve their level of English, or for those looking for an introduction to the language. By choosing a school vacation course in English, children can not only improve their level of English, but also learn a new language while having fun. Children can have fun while learning new skills and broadening their horizons. Find out more about the vacation courses in English offered by École M : the Holiday Club, which takes place every first week of school holidays (All Saints' Day, February, Easter).
During the holidays, children want to have fun and be active. They also have boundless curiosity and, during their first years in a community setting, are particularly receptive to naturally learning a second language.
The Holiday Club at école M offers immersive English camps during the first week of each school holiday. Fun workshops and outings centered around a unique theme are organized, where children learn English by enjoying English vocabulary and discovering Anglo-Saxon culture.

By searching online, asking for recommendations, and checking advertisements in local newspapers and specialized websites, you can find reliable and interesting options for your children. Giving your children the opportunity to have fun while learning is an excellent way to stimulate their development and give them a head start for their future.
