APP3/5 (age 3.5-5)

My child enjoys repeating French words during playtime and dance time. I think Ms. Cheremisova does a great job interacting with the children and teaching them vocabulary words that are meaningful for them at their age. I wouldn’t change anything. I’m very happy and my son enjoys his class.

We are so happy with the teachers my children have had at L’Alliance New York. They are experienced, calm, loving with the children and they create a wonderful atmosphere for learning.

L’Alliance New York created an environment where my son was excited to go every morning and encouraged to build new skills. He came come proud and confident and began regularly responding in French for the first time.

I love that my daughter can be with other French-speaking children and be encouraged to speak French.

We have been blown away by the caring nature of the L’Alliance Montclair staff and educators, the quality and diversity of the Montessori approach with a focus on art, cooking, and gardening, and the loving francophone community we have been welcomed into. L’Alliance Montclair has solidified our dream of raising our children francophone dominant, in a loving and supportive learning environment. We have graduated one son from APPE, have our second son currently enrolled, and plan to enroll our daughter when she is 2.5yo. Each is fluent in French and this is great part thanks to L’Alliance Montclair.

My son joined L’Alliance New York on the Saturday classes when he was two years old. When there was an opening to join the preschool day program, we jumped at the opportunity. Florian has been such a great teacher, meeting Benjamin where he was and he has grown in leaps and bounds. The other teaching staff as well have all been stellar. We have seen our toddler begin to grow into a little boy and advance at skills that he will need for his academic career, thanks to the tutelage of the staff at L’Alliance New York. We wish they had a K-8 program!

We have been with L’Alliance New York for 4 years now and both our children have had amazing educational experiences. The teachers are outstanding and very patient. There is a strong emphasis on French language but also French culture including arts, literature and cuisine. Both our children are fully bilingual and have been exposed to a wide “culture générale”. The curriculum is stimulating and rigorous. We love being part of this community.

My husband and I are very satisfied with our decision to invest in our daughter’s French education with L’Alliance New York. In a home with one intermediate French speaking parent and the other non-French speaking, it was important to enrich her exposure to both the language and culture. At four years old, she is now fluent in French and says that she dreams in this beautiful language as well! We are grateful for her experience with L’Alliance New York.

L’Alliance New York provided my son Hugo with the best possible start on his educational pathway. In my opinion, the best French teachers in the country are teaching at the Preschool. They were supportive on every level, from navigating the schools admissions process, to keeping us updated with daily activities.

The L’Alliance New York Preschool is an excellent school. Our son’s teachers, Soledad and Emmanuelle, are extremely attentive to the well-being and development of each child. Their smiles every morning are a true joy. Our son has learned so much this year thanks to them.
