We absolutely love Aux Petits Soins! My 3-month-old daughter and I drive 1.5 hours from Midland once or twice per month so that we can enjoy the benefits of the class. We would be going once or twice per week if we lived in Lansing. I cannot recommend it enough. Gaëlle is an absolute joy and has a talent for engaging even the youngest students. At just 8 weeks, my daughter was enthralled with the songs, colors and enthusiasm Gaëlle brings. I love that it is a relaxed, intimate atmosphere where the spontaneous needs of infants and toddlers are understood and welcomed.

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!
