First French learning
Every Sunday
For Kids from 3-5 years old
The Alliance Française de Los Angeles will comply with the latest health regulations from the Los Angeles Department of Public Health in order to ensure a safe environment for kids.
Concept
Le Dimanche des Petits is shaped for kids between 3 and 5 years old*. We focus on promoting children’s well-being, developing their curiosity, growing their capacity for collaboration, connection and resilience, while learning French.
From 9:30am to 1 pm the children will be evolving in a full-immersion environment, learning about nature, the world, people, and themselves.
Our purpose is not only to help our students grow their language skills and integrate other immersion programs around Los Angeles, but also to help them become the curious, courageous, wholehearted world citizens we need today.
*Kids need to be potty trained before they start

Our French Classes
The language classes are designed to teach children how to communicate within a group, express their thoughts and feelings, ask questions, and utilize more advanced sentence structures. Additionally, the classes focus on developing the students’ understanding of the written word including the alphabet, vocabulary building, and basic writing skills. The French story hour and educational games are incorporated into the classes to reinforce the students’ knowledge and enhance their language proficiency.
Enrichment Classes
Our French program takes pride in offering children an engaging and stimulating curriculum that goes beyond language acquisition. In addition to learning French, our program includes enrichment classes in science, art, cooking, movement, and library. We offer a well-rounded education that helps to develop their physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and linguistic skills. It provides a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive while developing a love for French language and culture.

They learn to follow instructions, measure ingredients, and work cooperatively with others while developing their fine motor skills and boosting their confidence and independence in the kitchen.
