Au P'tit Monde de San Francisco

• Honesty & trust▲

Au P'tit Monde is a truly special place, and we feel so lucky to be part of this community. The staff genuinely cares for each child, fostering a warm and nurturing environment from the moment you walk in. What stands out most is the intentionality behind every program; our kids rush to the door each morning and come home buzzing with excitement about their day. We’re already planning to send our second child here. And honestly, they’re just as impatient to start as we are!

My partner and I walked past APM for years on our commute to work and always noticed how happy the students sounded whenever we heard them playing outside. When we had our daughter in 2022, we joked that she should attend that school (even though neither of us speak French). After touring multiple preschools in SF, we found the warmth, cultural diversity, French immersion environment, and curriculum to really stand out. Since our daughter started in September, we’ve been blown away by the thoughtfulness of the teachers and the quality of activities. We highly recommend this wonderful school!!!

Au P’tit Monde est une école absolument exceptionnelle. Notre enfant s’y épanouit chaque jour dans un environnement chaleureux, bienveillant et profondément multiculturel. L’immersion en français est naturelle et joyeuse, et toute l’équipe éducative fait preuve d’un professionnalisme et d’une attention remarquables envers chaque enfant. Nous apprécions particulièrement l’esprit de communauté qui règne à l’école. Les familles, les enseignants et l’équipe travaillent ensemble pour créer un cadre sécurisant et stimulant. Les activités sont variées et enrichissantes, comme la cuisine, les célébrations culturelles, les jeux et les apprentissages, et elles contribuent à développer la curiosité et la confiance des enfants. La qualité des repas faits maison, l’attention portée au bien être des enfants et la communication transparente avec les parents font vraiment la différence. On sent que l’école est pensée pour soutenir les familles tout en offrant un cadre éducatif solide. Nous sommes extrêmement reconnaissants d’avoir trouvé Au P’tit Monde et recommandons cette école sans la moindre hésitation à toute famille cherchant une communauté bienveillante et une magnifique immersion francophone pour leur enfant. 💛

Great hours, great food…most importantly wonderful teachers and staff who truly care about accompanying our little humans as they discover the world.

Amazing and loving teachers. We are not native French speakers but our 4 yrs adapted quickly and feels at home.

I really don't understand how we got so lucky, but I feel like we hit the jackpot with APM. Our 2-year old daughter started fairly late in the fall and even though she is an outgoing kid, the transition to full-time daycare was tough. But the APM teachers and staff were so considerate and kind, holding our daughter and holding our figurative hands. My daughter was so eager to go back to school after the holiday break, and now she runs into class without even saying goodbye to me. I feel the love the teachers and staff have for all the kids, not just their own classes, and for each other. Everyone is always laughing, it feels like walking into a party. And communications with the teachers is seamless. Plus, the food, hours, and extra events really make this school something special.

We don't speak French at home, but our little one feels right at home at APM. The staff is fantastic, engaging, and caring. The school celebrates cultures all around the world. The onsite kitchen is such a gem! Nothing beats delicious meals made fresh every day. We cannot be happier to have found this community.

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about APM. This is now our 4th year at the school, with my son starting preschool this past fall (my 6 year old daughter attended APM all three years and still speaks highly of the school and staff and often returns to pick up my son to enjoy spending time with her old teachers!). Ultimately, both of my children have thrived here — the curriculum is thoughtful and diverse, the staff feel like family, and the parent community is warm and engaged. The school-provided lunches and general celebration of cuisine and culture is a rich touch! You simply cannot go wrong enrolling your child at APM, and if you’re looking for bilingual education (and/or you just want your child to have a fantastic and supportive preschool expertise) look no further!

Our son started at Au P'tit Monde in the fall and we couldn't be happier with our experience. He's already learned many French phrases and songs, and we love how the school incorporates cooking into the curriculum. Our son has developed a love for cooking since starting here! What most sets the school apart though is the teachers. They are so caring and kind. My son talks about his teachers constantly - a testament to what an impact they have had on him! Oh, and I can't forget to mention the FOOD - they provide all of it including a hot lunch that is fancier than most meals I make at home. I'm so happy we found this school.

We've been with APM for three years, and wish the school had more grades so we could stay longer! Our son has attended APM since he was two. To say he has flourished under APM's care would be an understatement! The teachers, the curriculum, the community, the wonderful staff, the language immersion - each is A+ on its own. Together they create the warmest and most engaging environment for our son to thrive in. We highly highly recommend APM!
