Au Beau Séjour French Preschool

Connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences 🌊

Last month, our students explored the theme “Under the Sea, a World to See.” Through immersive classroom activities, they developed French vocabulary while exploring science, creativity, and the wonders of marine life.

Our San Francisco Aquarium field trip provided a meaningful extension of their learning, allowing children to observe ocean animals firsthand and deepen their understanding through direct experience.

At ABS, we believe children learn best when curiosity, exploration, and discovery come together. 🐠

What happens when you combine the nostalgic warmth of a French countryside upbringing with intentional, modern early education?

You create a vibrant, nurturing community like ABS✨

Our founder, Coralie, rooted the design and atmosphere of ABS in her cherished childhood memories at her grandparents’ home in France.

At ABS, we believe in:

✨Giving every child a voice
✨Cultivating a true love for learning
✨Teaching emotional expression through positive discipline

We aren’t just a school; we are a community built on love and encouragement.

✨Welcome to ABS✨

If you want to see what pure magic looks like, look no further than the growth of a child over a single school year. 🥰

With over 35 years of experience, Maha Tati has seen it all, yet she is still completely blown away by the phenomenal progress her students make every day. So many of our little ones walk through the doors on day one without knowing a single word of French. Fast forward to the end of the year, and they are completely fluent, confident, and thriving in a whole new language.

Every child is so sweet, constantly bursting with stories they want to share and always ready to listen with open hearts. It’s a beautiful reminder of what happens when we give children the space to learn, play, and express themselves naturally. 🇫🇷✨

Step into a world where creativity has no limits and every day is a new adventure!

From building giant structures with oversized blocks to sharing laughter and meals under the sun, this is a glimpse into the vibrant, play-filled daily life at ABS.

✨Welcome to ABS✨

"In ABS, we learn French through songs, play, and emotional interactions." 🎶🧸🎨

Language learning for 2-3 year olds is a beautiful, natural journey when it's rooted in routine and connection.

Meet Fatima, one of our wonderful educators who makes this magic happen every day! By weaving French into daily play, storytelling, and comforting classroom routines, our toddlers build the confidence to start speaking fluently before they even realize they're "studying."

We love seeing our students flourish under her care! ❤️

Meet Gitanjali (affectionately known as Guitou),
one of the wonderful faces behind the magic here at ABS. In a world that moves so fast, she reminds us that the most important lesson a child can learn is found in understanding one another.

At Au Beau Séjour, we believe that emotional intelligence is the foundation of a bright future.

Social-emotional learning at ABS is the way we breathe, play, and grow together. It’s about teaching our little ones to recognize their own feelings and to hold space for the feelings of others.🌈
