Au Beau Séjour French Preschool - West Campus 860 30th Street, Oakland, CA 94608

"ABS has been good to us, our son speaks very good French and knows many songs. Facility is a bit small to the number of kids it serves but that seems to be the case in the Bay Area unless you can afford to pay 3k per month. The teachers, students, and community is wonderful! Just note that this school takes 1 month of paid vacation, which the average American would dream to have, so prep yourself for a backup child care. I was upset they closed the week of Presidents’ Day, which correspondents to the French week of Carnaval and called it Presidents week off… no such thing for us Americans. The Admin doesn’t seem to be in-touch with Parents’ struggles on the Bay Area."

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE ABS! We moved to the bay area from DC beginning of the year and finding a preschool for our 3 yr old was a challenge until we found ABS and met with Coralie. We loved everything about the school, from the French immersion, to fresh meals being cooked to the curriculum they have! Coralie is AMAZING and she really cares for the kids and goes above and beyond to meet their needs. Our last preschool in DC was nuts! There was no curriculum or structure. Where as at ABS it's very structured and helps your child grow! My daughter already speaks french and we've been going for 2 months- and keep in mind we don't speak French at home. I love when they do activities such as Gardening, baking and learn to take care of the chickens! Our daughter loves feeding them. She is super excited to go to school every morning and SHE NEVER WANTS TO LEAVE - NO LIE. I would highly recommend ABS to any parent looking for a preschool to meet academic, social and emotional needs. The staff is super nice and attentive! I love this preschool and so happy we found it. Just seeing a change with my daughter makes me feel good about where my money is being spent."
