L’Enfant is an independent, co-ed, non-profit Montessori and bilingual school.
A Unique Montessori & Bilingual Environment
L’Enfant was founded by a group of parents from the Washington DC region who wanted to provide their children with the best possible bilingual early childhood educational experience.
They had already built a very successful French Saturday heritage program - My French Classes. This heritage language school aims to support French-speaking families in the DC region who want to maintain and increase their children’s knowledge of French while enrolled in American schools.
To further strengthen the Francophone community, in 2018 the idea emerged to expand the Saturday program into a weekday school welcoming young children from the neighborhood. This new school would focus on offering:
- a full language immersion curriculum so its students become bilingual in English and French, and
- a beautiful learning environment inspired by the Montessori philosophy that would foster each child’s love of learning.
This project came to life in 2019 thanks to the support of our wonderful dedicated team and community of parents.
A Commitment to our Families and our Students
At L'Enfant we establish a partnership between the parents and our center to support the children education to its best.
We guide each child toward mastery of individually assessed intellectual, social, emotional and physical abilities.
We nurture self-confidence, concentration and the sense of belonging to the world that we live in.
We thrive to keep the joy and expand the children's imagination.
