What Parents Say

Loved by Kids, Trusted by Parents

ABS has changed our lives! My son loves going to school every day and has a lot to tell me about all the happenings. He learns new French words every week and is increasing his social and emotional skills. The space is wonderful - with lots of room to play, a garden and chickens on site! Whenever I pick him up, he's riding his bike in the play area and always wants to stay longer. I have always had a great experience with the teachers and administration -- quick and clear communication, and lots of care for the kids. We are also grateful for the staff who clean daily, make delicious meals and manage the property (they grow strawberries and have chickens on site!). I highly recommend ABS!

Our daughter started Au Beau Sejour when she just turned 2 and barely spoke English. When she graduated, she was a thriving toddler who was bi-lingual (neither parent speaks French) and passed her French language assessment at Francophone. Much of her development was because of Au Beau Sejour's caring teachers and well designed program. The credentialed teachers helped her grow educationally, emotionally and physically. Each teacher is so caring and thoughtful. Coralie and Chloe are strong leaders with vision. They are communicative and responsive about upcoming events, emergencies and 1 on 1 communication. ABS has a strong sense of community and it was fun to see our little one grow with friends. The school facility is well kept/clean and the pride in ownership shows. Lastly, the lunches and snacks are healthy and delicious - as a parent, it's one less thing to worry about. We highly recommend Au Beau Sejour!

Such a great school! The teachers are caring and so kind to each individual child. They really put in the effort to make sure the kids have educational, healthy, and fun activities each and every day. My son is always grinning when he arrives and happy with the day he had when we left. Highly recommend this school, especially when compared to other options locally.

My son spent three amazing years at ABS, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The teachers are absolute superstars - caring, patient, and brilliant at making learning fun. What makes this place special isn't just the excellent French education, but the warm community feeling. The admin team knows every child and parent personally, and everyone from the cooks (who make delicious meals!) to the gardener goes above and beyond. My little one has blossomed here - gaining confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning that he will carry through to his big kid school. And we've made some incredible friends! We're genuinely sad to say goodbye. This preschool has been like family to us, and we'll miss everyone terribly. If you're looking for a place where your child will be truly nurtured and happy, look no further!

Great preschool!! Our son loves going to ABS and it's so fantastic that we can have him go to a French scool on Oakland as it's my native tobgue. But it's more than just about the language, teachers are friendly and go beyond just "babysitting" which is the key value of a preschool over daycare. Children get to learn in a great environment!

My child has attended this preschool since the age of 2 and is learning so much French. Beyond that, it is a lovely campus with excellent teachers. The head of the school is a very good communicator. We get along well with the other parents. It's a wonderful community. I plan to send my second child to ABS too. I highly recommend it.
