Over the last 3 years, our entire family have become dedicated Aux Petits Soins students. Gaëlle has crafted thoughtful language programs for adults and children alike, regardless of experience level. While I had prior french exposure before APS, I found my experiences in the classroom or on language apps never stuck or gave me a true understanding of the language and culture the way Gaëlle’s methods have. Focused on the science behind language learning, her programs are unique and designed to foster life-long habits and the skills to continuously improve your french. Perhaps most importantly, Gaëlle has fostered an incredible, welcoming community at Aux Petits Soins, with seasonal cultural events and friendships that carry over outside of the classroom. If you have been wanting to learn or improve your french, there is no better option than Aux Petits Soins!

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!

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.
