La Maternelle

Preschool Admissions & Enrollment in Houston

No French required

Your child doesn’t need to speak or understand French to join La Maternelle. Many of our families don’t speak French at home, and their children become naturally bilingual at a very early age thanks to our bilingual environment, where French is spoken throughout the day.
