Au P'tit Monde de San Francisco

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 is an absolutely exceptional school. Our child thrives every day in a warm, caring, and deeply multicultural environment. French immersion is natural and joyful, and the entire teaching staff demonstrates remarkable professionalism and attentiveness to each child. We particularly appreciate the strong sense of community at the school. Families, teachers, and staff work together to create a safe and stimulating environment. The activities are varied and enriching, including cooking, cultural celebrations, games, and learning, and they help develop children's curiosity and confidence. The quality of the homemade meals, the attention paid to the children's well-being, and the transparent communication with parents truly make a difference. It's clear that the school is designed to support families while providing a solid educational framework. We are extremely grateful to have found Au P’tit Monde and recommend this school without hesitation to any family looking for a caring community and a wonderful French immersion experience for their child. 💛

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.
