Aux Petits Soins “Gains” more exposure!
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege to be interviewed by Lansing Area Capital Gains about local foreign language immersion programs. The story, “Lansing’s children engaging and connecting with language immersion programs,” was published today. The story features some great photos of our students Levi and Joel interacting in class. Please check it out!
You can read more stories about Aux Petits Soins on our In the media page.

An introduction to our new class, Day Trippers
I would like to introduce you to Day Trippers, a new 30-minute class inspired by my 5-week-old son, Léandre. It is designed for babies from birth to 6 months, and will give parents the opportunity to learn my favorite lullabies and other soothing songs. I think this new class will make a good baby shower idea for someone looking for a unique gift. You can come discover this program during one the FREE demonstrations:
Demonstrations will be held at Aux Petits Soins.
I tentatively plan to have the Day Trippers classes on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. and Saturday at 9 a.m. Based on demand, this schedule could change. If you would like to hear more about this program, please feel free to contact me at gaelle@apsfrenchclass.com or (517) 999-7277. If you would like to join the program, you can buy a 5 or 10 classes punch card here.
We are back!
After taking a little time off for the birth of my second son, I’m happy to announce that Aux Petits Soins reopens this morning.
I’m really looking forward to the rest of this session.
It’s a boy!
We’re proud to announce to the Aux Petits Soins family the newest member of Team Ross! His name is Léandre Ibn Harrison Ross. He arrived happy and healthy just a little past midnight on February 12. For those keeping score, he’s 8 lbs, 2 oz. and 21 inches long. Maman, baby, big brother, and Papa are all doing fine, but would like to enjoy this bubble of life for a little while. Hence, Aux Petits Soins center will be closed for 3 weeks. Classes will resume on April 4.
C’est la rentrée!
Aux Petits Soins’ newest session starts today and will last eight weeks.
The theme will be “Bonjour Mr L’Hiver!” (“Hello Mr. Winter!”) In addition to new songs and games, I’ll be adding new vocabulary words that will teach students the names of their family members and pets, winter vehicles, and anything related to snow and the French winter holidays. Of course, I’ll still rotate in things we learned in the past sessions to keep them fresh in everyone’s minds.
Here is the schedule for the upcoming session*:
- Explorers I (age 0-2) Tue. 5:15 p.m., Fri. 10:30 a.m. and Sat. 9:30 a.m.
- Explorers II (age 2-4) Wed. 5:15 p.m. and Fri. 9:30 a.m.

Bonne Epiphanie 2016!
On the first Sunday of January, the French celebrate Epiphanie (Epiphany). On this occasion, we share a cake named galette des rois (Kings’ Cake), a pastry that has small charms baked inside. This pastry is also filled with frangipane, a cream made from sweet almonds, butter, eggs, and sugar.
I can’t wait to share this tradition with the members of Aux Petits Soins family on January 16 from 2-4 p.m. You will have to be kind because I will use local ingredients, therefore it will taste a little different. Nothing can replace the taste of real French butter!
