My child was at this school for a brief time. I do agree that there is a lot of good learning going on. My main concern is that Tina has MS and that she seems to be losing her muscle strength on the daily basis. She did not disclose this fact so I felt betrayed when I found this out from another parent. I also felt that Tina was extremely controling, although it did come from a good place, she did put me off by telling me how to raise my child and even how to run my own life. She has a very hot temper which came out from time to time with the children. I was worried if she could behave that way when I was there, what she would do if I wasn't there. Without a certification, I wonder how this so called preschool can be considered a preschool. It is registered as a daycare. My main concern is the MS though because this daycare cannot function should the MS continue to progress.
Our child has attended this school for several months and loves it. The Director, Tina, and her assistant, provide a warm, loving and highly educational environment for the kids. And they learn French! Tina also cooks ALL the meals and the kids eat selections such as, omelettes, waffles, crepes, beef bourguignonne, vegetables, pasta, roasted potatoes, everything!! Also, Tina has a birthday party for each child, complete with a homemade cake and birthday present so the kids can celebrate. She really does provide such a personal touch to everything she does. We highly recommend this school.
Marin has very few bilingual schools, and we were so excited to not only find one that was convenient, but one that was so exceptional. Tina's style and approach really worked well with our youngest son. Tina has a philosophy that play is a child's work, and she is right. Our son has developed so well, in part because he bonded with Tina from the outset, but also because her approach just makes learning new things so much fun. I can recommend L'Ecole des Petits without hesitation,your child will love it.
