The French American Academie Inclusive

09/14/2026

What a joy to welcome our families this weekend!
Little hands building, climbing, and discovering together — Bristle Blocks, giant fort construction, dolls, and dough. Parents connecting over coffee and pastries while the children did what they do best: play, explore, and learn in two languages.
This is what our community looks like. Infants through Pre-K, French and English woven into every moment of the day, and families who make it all feel like home.
Merci à toutes les familles présentes. Vous êtes notre plus belle réussite. ❤️
📍 Mountain View, CA
🎒 Now enrolling — infants through Pre-K

🍎🍐 Our little artists discover Cézanne! 🎨
This week at French-American Académie, our children painted still-life masterpieces inspired by the French masters — apples and pears, all in French!
And in the kitchen 👩‍🍳 our toddlers measured, poured and whisked their own batter — 100% organic, 100% sugar-free. They made their lunch
✨ Skills they're building: fine motor control, French vocabulary through natural immersion, focus and independence, confidence and joy in learning.
💚 What makes us different: authentic French immersion with a native speaker, inclusive programming (neurodivergent children welcome), organic sugar-free meals, and a curriculum grounded in child development science.

📖 Three stories Ants in Your Pants!, Suki's Kimono, and Centipede's 100 Shoes. Suki chooses her grandmother's kimono even when others don't understand: a story about self-respect and cultural identity.

🎨 Play-Doh letters — Rolling dough builds hand strength for holding a pencil. Forming letters with the whole hand encodes them in muscle memory, not just sight.

🩳 Counting the pants — Sorting by pattern and color builds classification, the foundation of number sense. Watch the photos: one child explains, the other listens. Peer learning at its best.

👟 Lacing shoes — The richest activity of the day. Threading builds bilateral coordination and crossing the midline, both linked to later handwriting and reading. And the deepest gift: real competence. Nothing builds self-esteem like genuine mastery.

🎩 Hat & Shirt Day! 👕
Today we read Beatriz, Bananas and the Very Big Hat, practiced our letters Tt and Oo with chants and letter cards, and designed our very own triangle crowns and paper shirts. We matched buttons to shapes, built words with our onset-rime cards, and worked together on a group folding challenge.
Such focused little hands today! 💙
