Both of our children love La Maternelle! They had been to a different school before, and the difference between here and there is dramatic. They are now excited to go in the morning, and they are energized and engaged when they leave in the afternoon. They often simply ask us to go to school! Their development is making leaps and bounds over what they had at the other place. All of the staff are friendly, kind and understanding. Neither my wife nor I speak French, and who knows whether our kids will continue with the language. Regardless of the second language education, which is wonderful in its own right, this is a fantastic school and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a preschool in the area.
