APS is a phenomenal program run by a very passionate teacher Gaëlle. Our son has been attending the program since he was 3 months old and he still loves her classes at 3 years. She is always adapting the program to keep kids interested as they grow, and when the program moved online, our son and the other children never lost interest. This is a testimony to Gaëlle’s creativity and abilities to teach. We highly recommend her classes to anyone trying to immerse their children in a second language.

After starting French lessons at MSU’s CELTA school (which was great for introducing a basic level of languages) when our son was little, I first heard about Aux Petits Soins from a couple of French-speaking friends whose kids were going there; learning that Gaëlle Cassin-Ross was the mastermind behind it, was all it took to switch our son to her school 2 years ago. He’s been doing the World Citizen programs and it has been fantastic to see the change! I love how Gaëlle interacts with the kids, doing fun things (playing games is my favorite one!) as they speak French. She keeps a small number of students in class which means they all get to devote more time to actually practicing French. We have seen a big change in his abilities to speak French, especially in his pronunciation! We’ve been even more impressed at the level of engagement he has since the pandemic started! Keeping kids engaged in zoom is difficult, and Gaëlle does an amazing job! I definitely recommend Aux Petits Soins!

My kids (ages 3 and 1) have been part of Aux Petits Soins for the past year and what an adventure! It’s been wonderful to see them enjoy playing and singing (and of course learning) in a language immersion program with other children. I am very thankful that Gaelle and her family bring the beautiful gift of French language and culture to the Lansing community.
