About Us
La Maternelle
Established in 2008, La Maternelle is a Houston-based daycare inspired by the French preschool model. Our programs begin at 6 weeks of age in a French/English bilingual environment, where French is the main language of daily life. Starting in PK3 (age 3), students receive 45 minutes to 1 hour of English instruction each day, depending on their class. Our teaching approach is inspired by the French école maternelle, known for its emphasis on play, language, and creativity from age 3.

Opening Doors to a Bright Future with Bilingual Learning
Acquire language
At La Maternelle, children grow up surrounded by French and English. Through engaging play, interactive activities, and guided learning, they naturally develop their language skills. Our bilingual approach allows children to become confident French and English speakers while fostering cognitive development and cultural awareness.
Discover Writing
Children explore their creativity and self-expression through fun writing activities in French. These activities foster early literacy and storytelling skills, helping children develop a strong foundation in the language.
Through engaging and age-appropriate exercises, children learn to enjoy writing while building essential French language skills.
Move & communicate
Through movement and play, children develop essential motor skills while learning to express themselves in French and communicate effectively with others.
Physical activities not only enhance coordination but also create opportunities for children to practice language in a natural and engaging way, fostering both their physical and linguistic growth.
