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.

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!
