Home-New

My 2-year old son just finished his first session with Gaëlle and Aux Petits Soins. I had been searching for anything to do with French culture and language since Holden was born and am so fortunate to have stumbled upon this program. We both love attending class each week, singing the songs, and playing. Gaëlle truly has what is best and works for the children in mind, which is such a relief! The 2-4 class that we attend is very relaxed and allows for the extreme energy toddlers have (and some times short attention spans!). We are both so excited to continue on this journey with APS!

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!
