We are excited to partner with KidzArchitects to offer a weekly French architecture class for children ages 5–7. This class will meet Tuesdays from 3:00–4:00 PM Through hands-on exploration and creation, our budding architects learn by building, drawing, experimenting, and collaborating. They discover how buildings, streets, and public spaces shape our daily lives while exploring the fundamentals of architecture and design. Inspired by iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Egyptian Pyramids, and the Manhattan Planetarium, children will tackle creative design challenges, discover the work of visionary architects, and build a unique project to take home after every class, all while immersed in French. A wonderful opportunity for curious young minds to imagine, create, problem-solve, and build en français . The semester pricing includes all materials. Minimum of 6 children for the class to run.

This class is designed for children with little to no exposure to French. Grounded in the science of language acquisition and early childhood development, our methodology draws from repetition with variation, total physical response, emotional connection, and meaningful routines. Children are immersed in a structured environment that builds confidence and comprehension. We focus on high-frequency vocabulary, colors, numbers, greetings, classroom commands and use visual cues, gestures, and props to bring the language to life.

Sewing is a meditational act, a portal to creativity and self-expression. How wonderful would it be to make your own garments instead of buying them at the store? It has always been such a gift for Liza to be able to sew her own garments, choosing the fabric, the style, and the design. Liza's biggest inspiration is her mother who sewed dresses for her and her sister when they were young. We will explore questions such as: How are fabrics made? Where do they come from? What are natural and synthetic fabrics? What products from nature can be used to dye fabric? How can we reuse a piece of fabric to create a new garment? How do we measure our bodies to make sure that the clothing fits properly? This course will be taught in French.

This introductory adapted CNED literacy class is designed for fluent French-speaking children who are ready to begin learning how to read and write in French. Taught by an experienced Alliance New York instructor and hosted at the Language and Laughter Studio in Brooklyn, the class offers structured weekly support to help children build strong early literacy foundations. Each Saturday, children explore new letters, sounds, and syllables; practice handwriting; and begin decoding simple words and short sentences. Through playful activities, vocabulary building, early grammar awareness, and small shared readings, students gradually develop confidence in recognizing sounds, forming words, and creating their first written sentences. Instruction is adapted within the group so that each child is met at their level, supported, and appropriately challenged. Families receive brief weekly updates and guidance to reinforce learning at home, encouraging steady and joyful progress. This course is ideal for K and 1st grade students, fluent French speakers who are just beginning their journey with reading and writing. Our goal is to nurture their curiosity, support their emerging skills, and help them take their first steps into French literacy with confidence.

This class is for children currently enrolled in Dual Language Programs or who have a strong foundation in French. It is built on a clear pedagogical framework that integrates language objectives into every activity. Using project-based learning, storytelling, and collaborative games, students practice more complex vocabulary and grammar in context. Our teachers plan each session around targeted language goals—expanding syntax, refining pronunciation, and encouraging fluid self-expression. Children are encouraged to take risks, explore nuance, and grow as speakers. Small group instruction and peer interaction allow us to differentiate and meet each learner where they are, while keeping the environment playful and creative. Ideal for children ready to deepen their skills and move toward greater fluency.
