Single parent raising bilingual child

Speak to them exclusively in French now. They will learn English. I speak to my DD in Spanish yet she understands both languages and speaks English a lot, she just picks it up.
Also, where is this French Nursery? I have been looking around for French based programs and it's slim pickings around here.

Not OP, but there's the French Maternal School, and Lycee Rochambeau.

Don't overthink this, OP. Switch to French today and never look back,

Switch to french now. My kids are bilingual and it was worth the effort.

We have a bilingual Montessori preschool here in Kensington. You can choose french, Italian, or Spanish.

Speak to them in French. They will pick up English a little later on. I wish I was fluent in another language. Instead I send my kids to an immersion school so they get exposure to another language.

OP you say you are fluent- are you a native speaker?

I’m confused. The children are only going to daycare two mornings a week? Where will they be the other amount of time? What language will they be exposed to then?
