While we unfortunately had to change plans, we were so looking forward to sending our daughter to preschool here. We did a tour when she was four months old and were astonished by how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The curriculum is obviously extremely deep and joyful for the kids. In various rooms, kids were painting, doing yoga, and singing in French. In our interactions with Simon throughout the past year, he was unwaveringly lovely. Even when we had to tell him that we were not in fact going to be able to send our daughter there, he was genuinely disappointed and very nice. So while I

I am so grateful to have found this hidden gem! Sophie, the director, and Simon, is one of a kind.. and so is the staff. Not only was my daughters transition a breeze, but so was mine with hourly updates and photos to let me know how she was doing for the first few weeks. The school is small and you I feel the love and concern that all the teachers have for every child as if it were their own.
The curriculum is also very organized. Every day has a theme like art, science, shabbat, and gardening. Because its a newer school, I feel like the teachers are always thinking of new and fun projects, unlike

Le Petit Gan de Sophie is really the best school I could have find for my daughter. They take such a good care of the children. You can feel that they care about our children as they were their owns.
On top of that, Mathilda has been learning a lot since she started and you can see her growing every day thanks to Le Petit Gan.

Le petit Gan is one of the best French schools I have ever been to. I love everything about it including their staff :)
The staff is extremely loving and it feels like they are a part of your family. The kids are always exposed to new and fun interactive learning. It is such a happy place, I highly recommend this school for your child!

I visited more preschools than I did for my own education and Le Petit Gan Preschool was MY CHOICE OF HEART. The teachers here are truly caring and loving, full of vibrant and positive energy. They do understand that students' attitudes and emotions need nurturing in the learning process and I greatly appreciate their effort! Through their passion and knowledge they are awakening and stimulating our child's curiosity, shaping and making a difference in her live. They do expose her to French and Jewish languages and I am pro that. Although we are not Jewish they made us feel like we are part of

I am very impressed with the love and care Le Petit Gan gives to every single child. My little cousin attends the preschool there and we couldn't be happier picking him up each and every day! Not only is he learning several different languages like french and hebrew but he is also making new amazing friends. They take such great care of him as he is loved and looked after so carefully. Not to mention the beautiful new location and amazing Kosher/Organic menu for everyday lunch. I cant recommend this Le Petit Gan enough!!

First thing I have to say about Le Petit Gan, is that my son has been so happy since he's been going early 2013. He adapted quickly and I'm sure it had to do with the level of commitment, care and love that Sophie brings to the kids.
Second is that same level of commitment focused on the kids is given to the parents as well. On days that I felt unease, I got text messages from the school with pictures of my son happy and having a blast. This kind of communication to me is priceless. It's also great to see the photos Simon takes every week of the kids, he's a great photographer.

We love everything about it!! Our daughter has been attending this daycare since Oct 2012 and all we have so far are good things to say. The staff and teacher Sophie are so caring you would think they are family! The program that the kids follow is diversified and encourages hands on learning. The food is great...I think our daughter only eats at school!! The best part is when we pick her up in the afternoon she does not want to leave...That's when you know your child feels just like at home!!
Would definitely encourage considering as your child's daycare!!

It's called love at first sight. The first minute I stepped into that school, I just told
Myself that's where I want my boy to go. Unfortunately, he is still too young to be a part of the school, however, we are already a part of this small community. We attended the mommy and me classes and it was amazing. My son loved it even though he was small at that time. He had so much fun. Sophie and Simon are so welcoming, warm and they always try their best to help you.
I'm just looking forward for my son to go there. The school itself is so clean, several classrooms, a lot of different activities,

Le Petit Gan is a very special pre-school. From the minute you walk in, it's apparent that there is something different about the aura. Sophie and Simon have created an environment that is so welcoming and loving the children know it the minute they walk in. The campus is beautiful and provides students with so many alternative scenes and options. The yoga room, painting room, classroom, and kitchen are in different locations that are filled with color and highly accessible to all the children. I love that the children eat organic kosher food and are able to be in an environment that is language
