Savoir Faire Language Institute

Savoir Faire has been an excellent preschool for our kids. The teachers are patient, creative, and supportive. The students learn the languages surprisingly well. Our kids have split their time between the French and Spanish classes. Madame Fanny in the French class feels like an extra grandparent for our kids because they have come to bond with her. She is incredible with the kids and has helped me improve my French as well. The Spanish teachers of Patty, Patricia, Jocelyn, Nancy, and others have also been truly wonderful. We love Savoir Faire.

Both of my kids are going to savoir-faire preschool and we couldn’t be happier. The teachers are all great and so caring. Maîtresse Fanny in the French class has been truly amazing to our daughter, caring for her like a grand-mother. Maestra Sylvana in the toddler Spanish class is fantastic too. Our son is always so excited to go to school. It’s such an amazing environment for our kids to learn different languages since they turned 2.

My sons (5 and 3.5) have been attending Savior Faire for about a year now. We’ve attended the Redondo Beach location and most recently moved to the Torrance site. I can’t say enough about how absolutely wonderful staff are with students and parents. They are caring, thoughtful, dedicated educators. My sons are so happy at this school. We are there for the Spanish language instruction hoping to smoothly transition to a dual immersion elementary program next year. Both my sons are more confident with their foreign language acquisition and are growing in ways I never expected. They absorb multiculturalism in a very fun way. They’ve made great friends and it shows in how much they talk about them at home🥰. This is one of the few language schools (if not the only one in the area) that offers before and after care options allowing working parents extended time frames for drop off and pick up. I am grateful to have such a wonderful, play- based school that can balance the intricacies of structured learning through various play-based techniques.

Savoir Faire language institute is amazing! We don’t speak Spanish at home, but I use it daily at work and was passionate about giving my kids this opportunity if we were able. We started sending our oldest child there when he was 3 years old. We had just moved to California and the pandemic started about 5 months later! After two years of preschool there, he qualified as a Spanish speaker for a dual language immersion program in the local public schools. He had a great experience in the 3 yo class with Ms Ana and then in the 4 yo class with Ms Nancy. Our second child started at 2 years old. He’s had a great experience with Ms Ana and now in the 4 yo class with Ms Alexa. Ms Alexa has really impressed us with the reading education she has provided with our second child. He is already reading at the kinder level with Spanish syllable that were introduced by Ms Alexa. SFLI navigated the pandemic safely with good communication to families. They have flexible extended hours which is great for our house with two working parents! They always take parent input seriously. When our second child was 4 years old, he started was having trouble falling asleep at bed time so we asked that he no longer nap at school and they accommodated this request immediately. Now, he works on math and reading/writing activities during nap time. This helped so much during bedtime routine at home. The teachers and assistants are amazing! They know all the families. They already know our youngest child by name and she will start there in October! It’s been such a pleasure to grow our family and have each child start with a solid Spanish foundation before they enter into the local public school’s dual language programs. SFLI recently expanded their Redondo Beach location to include infant care. It is such a beautiful, newly renovated location right on Redondo Beach Pier. They have a lovely outside play area that overlooks the ocean. The kids can learn Spanish in a beautiful location over-looking the ocean and marina. What a fun place to learn and grow!

Our sons are currently attending this school and we are extremely happy that we have this amazing school in Redondo Beach. They have been at Savoir Faire about a year and can both now speak great Spanish; our oldest can also read in Spanish as well. They are able to switch freely between Spanish and English in conversation and understand how dual-language speakers translate (they routinely ask us for the Spanish word for something they only know in English). Apart from the Spanish-language instruction, SF is simply an excellent day care. The teachers are all caring and attentive. Our boys are thrilled on school days and actually upset on Saturday and Sunday! They have made great friends at school and look forward to going to school every day—setting them up for success when they eventually head to elementary school.
