About us

A small French daycare with a very big heart.

French Crèche Daycare was founded in Fontana by a French educator and lifeguard-certified caregiver who wanted to bring the warmth, rhythm, and language of a Parisian crèche to families in Southern California. We're licensed, family-run, and intentionally small.

Our philosophy

Children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and gently challenged. Our days follow a predictable rhythm — circle time, hands-on activity, outdoor play, family-style meal, quiet rest, and creative exploration — woven through with French songs and stories.

  • Daily French immersion through play and music
  • Gentle, consistent sleep training
  • On-site fenced pool with a lifeguard-certified owner
  • Homemade, allergy-friendly meals from our kitchen
  • Open communication with families through daily reports
Indoors

A bright, French-themed classroom.

A cheerful sky-blue room with a hand-painted Eiffel Tower, a rainbow reading corner, and play stations rotated weekly to keep curious little minds engaged.

A shaded backyard built for play.

Slides, swings, playhouses, ride-on toys, and bubbles galore under a big covered patio — perfect for Fontana's sunny days.
