Kimberly ~ Director: Kimberly has been passionate about the French language for the past twenty-seven years. She created Franc-O-Fun French for Children in 1995 and has encouraged hundreds of young children to love learning and speaking and singing French and to embrace the French culture. She graduated from Bucknell University in 1980 with a BA degree in French and a minor in International Relations. She spent the year 1979 studying in Paris through l'Institut d'Etudes Européenes and lived with a French family. That same year she worked with children during the summer in Liège, Belgium. After a ten-year career in New York City planning Special Events for Morgan Stanley and the New York Special Olympics, she returned to her first love, the French language, and working with children. Madame "le Renard" (Fox) began teaching French to children with Language Enterprises, Inc. where she taught in public and private schools throughout Fairfield County for three years. In addition she taught French for several years to beginner and intermediate adults through Wilton Continuing Education. Since 1997, Kimberly has written and directed a large assortment of charming French plays, created unique and effective curriculum and orchestrated large groups of children and staff for French Camps that are one of a kind. She and her staff continue to seek out innovative ways to foster the learning of the French language such as introducing cultural adventure trips for families to France, challenging moms of our students to learn French alongside their children and offering culinary extravaganzas.
