Your Little Garden
Do you want to get your children away from their screens and engage in play, art, and physical activity?
Do you want to find more ways to engage and play with your children?

Do you want to do all of this while introducing them to a whole new culture and learning a whole new language?
I am Briana Bender, and you have come to the right place!
I am bilingual in French and English, a multi-award-winning actress, a student of Dr. Shefali, and a granddaughter of Dr. Teresa Benzwie. I have combined my love of the French language, acting, the arts, nature, and children to help open their minds and hearts to French and Francophone culture, all while nurturing their creativity and self-expression.
My lessons and activities replicate an immersion situation, providing opportunities for children to play, create, and express themselves. All the lessons build on each other, and the French language gradually becomes part of who they are.
My greatest joy is to see the most shy and reticent child become excited about French as their fear transforms into the biggest explosion of smiles, laughs, joy, and confidence.
I work with children from ages 2-12, one-on-one or in groups of 3-5. I can come to your home. You can join us or take much-deserved time for yourself.
