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!

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!

Gaëlle is terrific. She is enthusiastic, supportive, and professional. As an adult learner, I was nervous to attempt to speak French (and over Zoom, to boot)! Gaëlle has made it a very positive experience, and I have seen my knowledge grow over a few short months. I highly recommend Aux Petits Soins!
