Smith Street Arts et Lettres (the expansion of Smith Street Maternelle) is an independent, arts-based French-American school in Brooklyn that opened in September 2021. The French/English bilingual curriculum emphasizes a Reggio-Emilia inspired, holistic approach to education with artistic expression as the foundation of a child’s social emotional development.

Smith Street Maternelle provides a unique French immersion pre-school program grounded in the fundamentals of progressive education and experiential learning. As such, our environment and curriculum are dynamic, age-appropriate, and deeply connected to the children's lives and experiences. Our teachers are experts in nurturing a child's social, emotional, intellectual, and linguistic development.
