We believe that early childhood is a magical time for discovery, growth, and joy.

Our Maternelle is a unique bilingual immersion environment beginning at 18 months of age. Young children have a unique capacity to learn new languages. Many FASPS students begin with no prior French and develop age-appropriate fluency by the end of Kindergarten. 
 
In our Preschool program, young learners begin their journey of cultural awareness through rich narratives and inquiry-based approaches. By exploring diverse cultures, traditions, and values, children develop an early understanding and respect for the world around them. They learn to appreciate differences and find common ground through shared experiences, setting the foundation for empathy and respect in the years to come.

Program Highlights

  • A classroom scene with a teacher reading to a diverse group of children seated on the floor. The teacher is sitting on a red chair, holding a colorful book and gesturing as he speaks. The children are attentively listening, some with their hands on their laps. There are educational materials and posters on the walls and shelves, including a display with books and a whiteboard behind the teacher.

    LANGUAGE FLUENCY

    Early language(s) skills foster communication, literacy, and cognitive abilities essential for lifelong learning. Our Immersive bilingual program builds strong communication skills and cognitive flexibility, opening doors to endless possibilities.

  • A woman with short dark hair smiling at children around a table playing a board game in a classroom.

    FAMILY PARTNERSHIP

    We cherish our close collaboration with families, working together to create a cohesive and supportive environment both at home and in school. This partnership is crucial as it reinforces the learning and development happening at school.

  • A young girl with pigtails smiling while lying on her stomach on a wooden table, being supported by a woman in a gray hoodie during a group activity in a colorful classroom.

    CARING AND QUALIFIED TEACHERS

    Our educators are not just highly qualified; they are deeply committed to the well-being and growth of each child. Their warmth, dedication, and expertise create an environment where children feel loved and supported every day.

  • A young girl with curly blonde hair wearing a purple sweater playing a game at a table in a classroom or playroom.

    WHOLE-CHILD FOCUS

    We celebrate and support every aspect of your child's development—socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

  • An adult man and two young girls playing with wooden building blocks at a table in a colorful classroom.

    SELF-REGULATION & EXECUTIVE FUNCTION

    Through playful learning, we help children build life skills like self-regulation, focus, and resilience.

  • Two young girls hugging and smiling inside a colorful indoor play area with orange floor tiles, red chairs, and a multicolored mat.

    CULTURAL RESPONSIVENESS

    By exploring diverse cultures, traditions, and values, children develop an early understanding and respect for the world around them. They learn to appreciate differences and find common ground through shared experiences, setting the foundation for empathy and respect in the years to come.
