Ages 3-4
Fall session: October 5 to December 19, 2026
If you have any questions about upcoming classes or the program, please contact the Youth Program Coordinator at youthprograms@alliancehouston.org
Please note:
- Children must be fully potty trained to attend class independently, as our instructors are not able to change diapers.
- If your child is still wearing a diaper, a parent or guardian must remain on-site in the waiting area throughout the class.
- Parents may not leave the Alliance Française during the class time.
If you have taken French classes in the past, you must take the placement test. Click here. If a student enrolls in a class at the wrong level without taking a placement test before registering, they will be required to purchase and complete a placement test before requesting a level change.
