History
Every since Ms. Helena Geng's twins were born in 2012, the idea of building the best language immersion preschool curriculum has been on her mind. When she met Ms. Zhen Zhen Li in early 2018, their shared passion and vision gave borth to L'Academy, and L'Academy Preschools came into being. Ms. Li and our team of educators developed L'Academy's curriculum to reflect our emphasis o the individualized development of the whole child, cognitively, socially, and creatively. Currently, L'Academy Language Immersion Preschool has 13 locations, a majority being in the Bay Area/ San Francisco area, two locations in Sacramento, California, and one location in Cary, North Carolina. Our location (Sacramento Arden) opened in March 2022 after taking over ownership of a previous language immersion program.
Specialties
Research has shown that exposure to a second language early in life is one of the best tools for cognitive development. Here at L'Academy, we aim to uncover each child's cognitive potential through language immersion, as well as taking on a holistic approach to teaching a second language through meaningful activities. We believe a child should play! Our curriculum is focused on developing the whole child in a fun and loving way. On a daily basis, our children practice their social and communication skills. Throughout our curriculum of meaningful activities, our children are shown pathways to become confident, creative, expressive, and compassionate citizens of the world.
