Smith Street Maternelle

We are a Brooklyn-based French immersion preschool program grounded in the fundamentals of progressive education and experiential learning. We also offer summer camps perfect for beginner or advanced French speakers!

Our environment and curriculum are dynamic, age-appropriate, and deeply connected to the children’s lives and experiences. Our teachers are experts in nurturing a child’s social, emotional, intellectual, and linguistic development. We hope to engender a lifelong love of learning, drive to explore, and ability to relate to and empathize with other people.

Essential components of our curriculum include art, block-building, sensory experiences, dramatic play, music, movement and gross motor activities, and (mini) field trips.
