At ABS French Preschool, we provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating French Immersion environment where children grow academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and creatively.
Our curriculum is inspired by the French Éducation Nationale Preschool Program, thoughtfully blended with California early childhood best practices, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Positive Discipline, and hands-on enrichment.
Inspired by the official French National Education curriculum, we provide a nurturing environment that supports each child’s development through daily routines and play.

Each child receives personalized care and guidance that respects their individual developmental needs, interests, and pace of growth.
Exploring through art, crafts, music, dance, cooking, gardening, and gentle yoga, sparking curiosity and creativity every day.
Each day begins with movement and sport, preparing the brain and body for focused academic learning, because at ABS, children learn best when they move, explore, and have fun.
Three of our classrooms are spacious, accommodating up to 15 students with 2-3 teachers, allowing for individualized attention and strong teacher-student relationships. The fourth classroom is slightly smaller, yet still provides ample space for exploration and play. This classroom also features a loft that enhances the construction and dramatic play areas, giving children additional room to thrive.
