About La Petite Ecole
A Place to Shine
Established in 2006, La Petite Ecole is a home-based Kindergarten Prep Preschool that offers a bilingual French / English program to children ages 2-5. With our progressive and holistic early childhood education philosophy, we understand that each child has unique needs and interests. We provide the environment and tools your child needs to thrive to the best of their abilities.
Did you know that recent research on bilingual and multi-lingual students has demonstrated that learning a second language at an early age does more than give our children the gift of being able to speak another language? It actually "supercharges" their brains, stimulating the neurons to form more connections, eventually leading to better academic performance.
La Petite Ecole offers a full-time program from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday - Friday. Monthly tuition covers breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, the bilingual curriculum and all school supplies.
Patricia Ayité is a certified French teacher, fluent in French and English, a world traveler, artist and mother of 6 (now adult) children. She is CPR and First Aid certified. She is assisted by her husband Alex Ayité, a PE teacher with a Sports Degree from France, also CPR and First Aid certified.
The school is licensed as a large Family Child Care Home (8 children)

I wish I could give this school more than 5 stars!
My child has attended La Petite Ecole for almost 2 years now and I could not be more grateful. I wanted to find a daycare where French was a part of the curriculum (which is not easy to find here) so my child could reinforce learning the language outside the home. What a blessing it has been!
Patricia, the teacher, is such an amazing person and is so great with kids. You can instantly tell by spending 5 minutes with her how much she cares for each and every student. She is very organized and plans out her curriculum in advance, sending it to the parents ahead of time. She goes above and beyond planning fun and educational activities. She even gives the kids two homemade meals a day!
My child's French has greatly improved after being here and it's so precious to hear the songs that Patricia teaches being sung at home. At the end of the day she gives an update about how your kiddo did that day, which I really appreciate.
If you are looking for an in-home preschool to send your child to, look no further because this is the place. You will not be disappointed!
