Smith Street Maternelle

At Smith Street Maternelle, we provide a unique French immersion preschool program grounded in the fundamentals of progressive education and experiential learning. As such, 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.
