Welcome to Saratoga French Cultural Preschool

Waldorf-Inspired, Nature-Based Learning for Ages 2 to Kindergarten

Since 2015, families across Saratoga, Los Gatos and Cupertino have trusted us with their children’s first years of school. Three teachers in every classroom, small groups, and a day built around outdoor play, hands-on discovery and everyday French.

Three Teachers in Every Classroom

Small groups and a consistent team, so every child is known rather than managed.

Outdoors in Every Season

A mud kitchen, garden and open play yard — children learn by doing, rain or shine.

What Our Bilingual Preschool Actually Includes

A private, full-day bilingual preschool in Saratoga for ages 2 through Kindergarten.
Here is exactly what is included, what it costs, and who inspects us.

French spoken all day, every day.

Snack, story, the argument over the blue crayon — all of it happens in French, which is why children pick it up without being taught.

Full days, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM — childcare included

Morning snack, lunch with dessert, afternoon snack and childcare until 5:30 are included in tuition, not billed as extras.

Tuition published, no phone call required.

Our rates are on this website. You should not have to book a sales call to find out what a preschool costs.

Licensed by the State of California.

Licensed and inspected by the California Department of Social Services, which sets the standards every classroom here has to meet.

Full-Day Preschool with Childcare Until 5:30 PM

Our day runs 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday, which covers a full working day without a second drop-off.
Morning snack, lunch with dessert and afternoon snack are included, and so is childcare through to 5:30 — there is no late fee and no separate aftercare bill. Families choose three days or five, September through June, with optional Summer camp.

Questions Parents Ask About Our

We're a private preschool taking children from age 2 through Kindergarten, including Transitional Kindergarten and French Kindergarten.
