Welcome to FrenchAm Preschool

FrenchAm Preschool offers a 100% French immersion education for children as early as age 1 to age 5.  Our preschool is comprised of 3 parts:

  • Nursery (ages 1 and 2)
  • Preschool (age 3)
  • Pre-Kindergarten (age 4)


We provide small group classes in a warm, caring, familial atmosphere.  With an emphasis on socialization, FrenchAm Preschool helps students build strong relationships with other children and adults, establish autonomy and independent identities, and further develop their motor and language skills.

We offer the only French immersion program in the same location for ages 1 to 11 through our FrenchAm Preschool private school and FrenchAm Academy (K-5) charter school. At the end of Pre-Kindergarten, our students are prepared to enter Kindergarten either at FrenchAm Academy or elsewhere.
