Start at 2, Stay Through Kindergarten

Saratoga French Cultural Preschool has welcomed families since 2015. Children start with us at age 2 and move up through classrooms grouped by age, each with its own head teacher, until they leave for first grade. French is the main language in every classroom, and your family doesn’t need to speak any French at home.

Three Teachers in Every Class

Small classes with three teachers in each, so every child gets personal attention.

Ready for First Grade

Hands-on play and guided activities build the language, social and early academic skills children take into Kindergarten and first grade.
