I cannot recommend Aux Petits Soins enough! My daughter started at four months old. While she is young, you can see by her smile how much she enjoys Gaelle, hearing French songs and engaging in the other babies. Gaelle is an amazing teacher for not only the children but the parents, too. It’s easy to see how much everyone enjoys class. I studied French and lived abroad in college. I’ve always wanted to share French culture and language with my daughter and I’m thrilled to have the chance to do it at only five months of age. Thank you Gaelle for bringing this unique and wonderful opportunity to Lansing!

Our kids have been wanting to learn French for over a year. We wanted a place that would give them a base of the language, while being warm and inviting, especially since we were to start online during Covid. We looked into many online versions, even bought Muzzy, and realized that we needed something concrete as we are beginners. We found Gaëlle and Aux Petits Soins and the kids LOVE their weekly french class. With the programs currently being online, Gaëlle keeps the classes small and very interactive. The kids enjoy their weekly hour French session and look forward to doing their 5 minute “homework” daily for Travel Bugs II. It is everything I could have wanted in a program and teacher. A wonderful investment!

My family has been studying French at Aux Petits Soins since my oldest started about four years ago. She has worked through the Explorers, Travel Bugs and World Citizens programs and absolutely loves it! She looks forward to her lesson each week, especially the games and interaction with her classmates. She is now also learning Spanish and I know that her exposure to French early on has helped her excel. Our toddler is now also enrolled in Explorers and she has so much fun in class. She is now including French numbers, animals, colors and other vocabulary in with her English on a daily basis. Gaëlle is absolutely wonderful with children and has a talent for engaging and encouraging them. Inspired by the fun and progress I’ve seen with my children, I have also studied at APS for almost two years. I love learning French and gaining insight into French culture. I’m happy with my progress and look forward to traveling to France in the future. Immersion works for me and my children and I would encourage anyone to give it a try!
