Class Description

Description

In this à petits pas classes for toddlers currently in Pre-K (ages 3-5), your child will be exposed to more vocabulary and language structures. They will learn to make very simple sentences while being introduced to written French. Toddlers will act out stories, play games, sing, and dance, all centered around a picture book that will serve as the central theme of the session. Children practice lively routines in French that demonstrate the French savoir faire. 

Note:

  • à petits pas (age 2–3) is not required to take à petits pas (age 3–5). 
  • This is a drop-off class. We can only accept children who are toilet-trained and accustomed to separation. 

About à petit pas 

Toddlers learn, laugh, and play en français better in person! Small classes with strict safety guidelines are offered in person at L’Alliance to meet the needs of parents and children. Offered in the bright and spacious classrooms in L’Alliance’s beautiful Upper East Side building, the à petits pas program promotes a gentle French immersion experience in small groups to ensure individual attention for each child. 

APP 1 and APP 2-3/2-3 BIL (Preschool) require the presence of an adult to help the children interact with the teacher and with the group. APP 3-5/3-5 BIL (Pre-K) are drop-off classes. 

Our year-round à petits pas program encourages your petit to discover the language through a structured curriculum based on a child’s daily life, enriched with games, songs, dance, and arts-and-crafts. Classes are offered for toddlers who are new to French as well as those growing up in a French-speaking family. Our qualified and experienced teachers will make each class engaging and fun for your child.
