LILA Mini Club teaches French to parents and children in a warm, caring, and supportive environment. Music and playtime activities help children in their language acquisition, while parents are able to participate in discussions on their children’s development.
Research has shown that in addition to the global exposure an added language brings, bilingual children are better at focusing and multitasking, have increased mental flexibility and creativity, possess stronger logic skills, and perform better academically than their monolingual peers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the class instructor?
Marie, a native of Maisons-Laffitte, a suburb north of Paris. She moved to Los Angeles in 2022. She studied art and fashion design, and believes that creative expression is an effective and exciting way for children to learn a new language at a young age. Marie is passionate about working with children, having received her B.A.F.A (childcare aptitude certificate) in France. She enjoys helping Mini Club participants develop their listening and observation skills.
Do I need to speak/understand French to attend your classes? What about my child(ren)?
No, you do not need to speak French; LILA Mini Club is a first approach to another language and culture for both you and your child.
Can I bring my newborn along to a class with my older child?
Yes, one parent can come to class with both children. We also welcome any nannies, friends or family to help.
I have twins. Can I come alone to class with both of them?
Yes, but we suggest bringing someone along to help so that you and your children may fully benefit from the class.
I have no children enrolled at the International School of Los Angeles. Can I still take the LILA Mini Club classes?
Yes, we welcome all families to our LILA Mini Club program.
Can my nanny come instead of me?
Yes, we welcome any nannies, friends and family members to bring your child to LILA Mini Club class. We want your child to benefit from socializing with other children.
My child is sick. Can I still come with him/her to class?
We want your child to feel comfortable in class. Please do not bring your child if he/she is not feeling his/her best.
How often are your toys/materials cleaned?
We sanitize all toys and materials after each class.
Why are there some weeks when there is no class?
We follow the School’s academic calendar, so we do not schedule class on the weeks when school is not in session.
Why does the price vary between months?
The cost per month is adjusted based on how many class sessions there are in that month. For example, if there are 4 classes in a month, the cost is $99. 3 classes per month is $79, and so on.
