At this developmental stage, kids possess their greatest ability to absorb and retain a second language qualitatively similar to their native language. Phonological acquisition is time-sensitive, unlike grammar and vocabulary learning, which can happen at any age. Hence, the emphasis here is on speaking using the Listen. Absorb. Speak.™ method.

When our son Emmanuel was born, we wanted him to be in a place where he could hear French spoken somewhere other than at home with his mother, who is a native French speaker. One afternoon on a walk, we saw a sign for Aux Petits Soins about French classes, and after meeting Gaëlle, we learned about the free Day Trippers program, so we decided to go. It was the beginning of a beautiful adventure.
Emmanuel started when he was three months old, and we started by learning songs such as, “Vole, vole papillon” and “Tourne, tourne petit moulin.” It has been fun for him and for us. At home, he tries to repeat Gaëlle’s gestures, which is very awesome.

Our treasure is 1.5 years old now and is continuing with the Explorers II program, which he is still enjoying. We are very happy having Emmanuel there – it’s a great place to be and to help your little one immersed in French language and culture.

My 2-year old son just finished his first session with Gaëlle and Aux Petits Soins. I had been searching for anything to do with French culture and language since Holden was born and am so fortunate to have stumbled upon this program. We both love attending class each week, singing the songs, and playing. Gaëlle truly has what is best and works for the children in mind, which is such a relief! The 2-4 class that we attend is very relaxed and allows for the extreme energy toddlers have (and some times short attention spans!). We are both so excited to continue on this journey with APS!

I love APS as do my children! I feel I have a decent ability with only a 15 months of studying. My children love the instructor and really look forward to learning French. My oldest daughter has been studying for about 4 years and her progress is impressive! I would highly recommend for families, adults and children!
