French classes for babies and toddlers
LILA Mini Club is a French-language enrichment program for children ages 6 months to 3 years and their caregivers. Through songs, storytelling, movement, sensory activities, and play-based learning, families are introduced to French in a warm and welcoming environment designed specifically for infants and toddlers.
Ideal for families seeking French classes for toddlers, parent-child enrichment activities, or an introduction to bilingual education, Mini Club provides a fun and engaging first step into language learning. No prior French experience is required. Children and caregivers learn together while building confidence, fostering curiosity, and supporting early language development.
LILA Mini Club offers families an opportunity to explore French immersion education, connect with other parents, and discover the benefits of a multilingual and multicultural learning environment.

Who is the class instructor?
Marie, a native of Maisons-Laffitte, a suburb north of Paris. She moved to Los Angeles in 2022. She studied art and fashion design, and believes that creative expression is an effective and exciting way for children to learn a new language at a young age. Marie is passionate about working with children, having received her B.A.F.A (childcare aptitude certificate) in France. She enjoys helping Mini Club participants develop their listening and observation skills.
