You are considering immersing your child in a French preschool - Congratulations! This is an exciting moment and opportunity for your child to grow as a citizen of the world.
The Language and Laughter Studio, is an innovative preschool, rooted in curiosity about language and culture, and a deep respect for the Earth. This French Immersion program, with a progressive, play-based approach to learning, has served Francophone and non-Francophone families throughout the city for over 18 years.
At LLS, we offer a play-based French Immersion program that combines the founding principles of Progressive Education with a rigorous French language program designed to maintain and foster fluency. Our classrooms offer warm and nurturing spaces for children to expand their thinking, build confidence and resilience, and learn to approach relationships with understanding and empathy.
We are a vibrant cultural center partnering with L'Alliance Française of New York to bring Francophone artists to perform in our space, enriching our community with diverse cultural experiences.
A cornerstone of our approach is our time spent outdoors—several full school days each week take place in a nearby park, where children immerse themselves in nature, fostering resilience, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. This experience beautifully complements their indoor learning environment.
Nearly all of our children go on to continue their schooling in Dual Language Elementary programs in both private and public schools throughout New York City.
Our school serves children ages 1 to 5 with four distinct classrooms:
Les Tous Petits - Ages 1-2
La Petite Section - Ages 2-3
La Moyenne Section - Ages 3-4
La Grande Section - Ages 4-5
The school day runs from 9:30am to 2:30pm. Families have the option of adding Early Drop Off (8:30am to 9:30am) and Atelier (2:30pm to 4:00 or 5:00pm) to extend their child's school day as they wish.
Please feel free to reach out to llspalomanahon@gmail.com or call the school at 718 596 2233 if you have any questions or would like more information.
Looking forward to connecting with ou soon.

Improvements:
Hoping next year that the camp can go till at least 5pm, with the afternoons spent at the new indoor location. 2.30pm is too short of a day. We won't be able to do it next year if it still ends at 2.30pm.

It's outdoors when weather permits. My child picked up a lot of new french as there are many francophone children and great instructors.
Improvements:
Extending the day by 30 minutes (to 3pm) or perhaps even later.

About The Language and Laughter Studio
LLS is a French language center and French immersion pre-school located in the heart of downtown Brooklyn, New York. Since 2006 we have been leaders in progressive language education centered in arts integration, imagination, child-driven projects, and play-based learning. The Language and Laughter Studio is a place not only for our children to participate and enjoy language and culture, but a place for us to come together as a community and bring to life the heritage of our extended cultures. Learning language is not just about speaking, but about connecting to the cultures and traditions they come from.
