Yep, they are both romance languages. Since fish is in LA, I expect that's why it's French being taught. I hope you'll be able to stay there long enough that she can become quite fluent. I so wish I could speak two languages.

I actually encourage all my students who are bilingual to learn to read and write in their native language. One of my students this year speaks Polish and goes to Polish school on Saturdays. I told him I was envious.

I'm glad you found such a great solution.
