Au P’tit Monde de San Francisco and Au P’tit Monde de la Péninsule are two French Immersion Preschools for children 2-5 year olds. The lessons in the “Petite Ecole” and “Grande Ecole” take place entirely in French.

Admissions + Open Houses

For families interested in the 2027 school year, school tours will resume in October 2026.

Acceptance emails are typically sent beginning in March and continue on a rolling basis over the following months.

Our program operates year-round, from September through August, with students starting in their designated classrooms in September. While September marks the primary transition period, it is sometimes possible for children to join later in the year if openings become available. Families on our waitlist will be notified of any mid-year openings, and when possible, we aim to provide at least two months’ notice prior to the start date.
