Au Clair De Lune

Overview

Au Clair de Lune operates an early learning program in San Diego that provides a French-immersion environment for very young children. The Coolidge Street facility portfolio includes a location specified for pre-toddlers and toddlers (around 1–2 years old).

Approach and curriculum

The program uses a play-based, holistic approach with an emphasis on language immersion and child-led exploration. The curriculum incorporates hands-on activities across areas such as early science, technology, engineering, mathematics, language, and physical education, and it emphasizes autonomy and relationships between teachers, children, and families.

Facilities, staff and meals

Classrooms are arranged to encourage independent, hands-on learning and outdoor play is a regular part of the day, with nearly half the day spent outside noted as part of the routine.
Teachers are described as having professional training; the site states staff hold at least a bachelor’s degree, with many pursuing or holding further education.
Meals are prepared on-site by a dedicated chef and served from washable, reusable dinnerware; the program describes lunches as made from scratch using minimally processed ingredients.
