Bilingual Preschool in Venice, LA

Ecole Claire Fontaine:
Ecole Claire Fontaine, located in Venice, Los Angeles, California, is a bi-lingual preschool offering programs in French & English to children ages 2 to 6. Claire Fontaine provides a secure and loving place for children to learn and play. We believe that a child`s intelligence and reasoning are exercised through playful creativity. Play is a natural medium for children to express pleasure, curiosity, autonomy, and is integrated into our curriculum as a primary way of learning. Every day, the children also practice and experience making art, music, writing, storytelling - enriching their emotional life.

Raising a child is a universal experience, central to many people`s lives. Becoming a parent contains many surprises and a new world of feelings, a sense of the fragility of life and a new sense of responsibility. At Claire Fontaine, we celebrate children and affirm the value and importance of parenting in an enlightened society.

We believe that education, like gardening, is a process that requires time and care. Our philosophy is to nurture a child`s self-esteem so that their self-confidence and dignity will grow. To provide the elements for this growth and blossoming is our mission. At Claire Fontaine a child develops a sense of himself and his place in the world, a sense of responsibility and inner discipline, and so strengthens his ability to give himself direction and purpose.
