      Give the gift of French culture this holiday season. At Aux Petits Soins™, we offer French language classes for students of all ages – and serve as the hub for French culture appreciation in mid-Michigan.

      We’re a language immersion program for babies, kids and adults that really works. We use an innovative language education system called Listen. Absorb. Speak.™, drawing on the latest theories of early childhood development and cutting-edge cognitive research on the brain’s ability to assimilate new language at any age. 

      Our everyday prices are already incredibly low, so we have very little flexibility to offer discounts at other times of the year. But this Small Business Saturday, we’re getting in on the fun and offering these specially discounted classes ­starting Monday, November 19 – including waiving our initial enrollment fees – to reach out to new students and fill our ever-expanding class schedule.

      Children’s classes ($1 off per class per 12-week session): 
      Three levels of Explorers: 1 (ages 6-18 months), 2 (ages 18 months-3 years) and 3 (ages 3-5) – was $168, you pay $156*
      Three levels of Travel Bugs: (ages 5-7), 2 (ages 7-9) and 3 (ages 9-12) – was $210, you pay $198*
      *$15 enrollment fee, covering cost of class materials, is waived as part of this special

      Adult classes ($20 off per 12-week session): 
      Two levels of Ensemble: 12 weeks of French instruction for $280* (regular price: $300)
      *$25 enrollment fee, covering cost of class materials, is waived as part of this special

      We’ve already enabled a new generation of babies here in Lansing to embark on paths to being fully bilingual. We’ve also helped a small community of adults realize their lifelong dreams of learning French. Our two-prong approach allows us to tweak the old saying: The best time to learn a new language is when you’re a child; the second-best time is right now.

      Offer only good for Winter Session: Jan. 7-March 31, 2019. Offer not to be combined with any other discount.

      FREE demo schedule

      We can’t wait to see everyone. Join us this week for a FREE demo and learn more about our method, Listen, Absorb, Speak.

        Kids will explore French culture at Aux Petits Soins Summer Camp

        This summer, Lansing-area kids can explore French culture, food and customs right here in mid-Michigan at Aux Petits Soins Summer Camp. This first-ever event will run July 9-13 and July 16-20 from 9 a.m.-noon.

        Kids age 5-12 can join us for one or both weeks of fun learning and social activities. Aux Petits Soins’ head instructor, Gaëlle, and DeWitt High School French teacher, Katie, will engage kids through active learning vocabulary words for having a basic conversation in French and receive a primer on French phonemes (the distinct sounds particular to foreign languages) that will better enable hearing, reading and speaking fluent, accent-free French.

        Kids will get their hands on French culture through engaging board games, cooking lessons and art classes. The goal is introduce kids to a new language and culture, and to make French fun and a memorable experience. More details to follow.

        Registration is now open – register here!

          It’s time for French Playtime

          By popular demand, Aux Petits Soins will soon begin offering open hours. Current students age 6 and under who show up with an adult caregiver can come in to play, enjoy books from the growing library, and soak in the French culture. I hope your little one will be able to join us.

          This will enable students to practice what they’ve learned in class and continue their French immersion. Also, during select times, there will be someone on-site to volunteer to read stories and play with them exclusively in French. One of these volunteers is Mark Sullivan, a retired educator who will join us on Saturdays starting next week.

          French Playtime will be held 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and 9:30-11:30 a.m. on Saturdays.

          Coming soon: APS French Club, geared for students age 6-12. Check back soon for udpates on this.
