La Grande Récré

If you’re looking for an great French school, where everybody is welcoming and your child is genuinely cared for, then La Grande Récré is the place for you. The team of staff, led by Steve, are totally awesome! I recommend you check it out and look beyond the ‘old school’ exterior.

My son attended La Grande Recre since he was 2 and absolutely loved it. Now in Prep, he is bilingual. We are also very grateful for all the structured activities the staff organised for the kids. Unlike traditional kindergartens in Australia, LGR offers a more structured environment with set routines. We are grateful for this approach as it provided our son with the opportunity to acquire essential life skills and develop discipline, which will undoubtedly benefit him in his future endeavors. Steve and the staff have been an invaluable source of support. We are sincerely grateful for their efforts and the personal attention they have given to our son's growth. Highly recommend LGR!

Love this place, Steve and his team are super friendly and very professional.

Mes enfants allaient ici et ils ont aimé leur temps là-bas. Steve et les maîtresses étaient toujours amiables et mes enfants les adorent.

La grande récré is been a fantastic place for my children and our family. The educators genuinely care about the children and the children couldn't be happier. They look forward to go every week and always have a lot to tell us about their day, friends and their favourite educators. Thanks Steve and the team for your fantastic work.

As a French expat, it was such a treat to find a French preschool in Melbourne. Both my daughter and son attended La Grande Récré and they absolutely loved it. Steve, the director, is an absolute gem who cares about providing the best education and environment for the kids who attend his school.

Highly recommend La Grande Récré to all the parents raising bilingual/trilingual kids in Australia. Your child will be completely immersed in the French language and culture and will be very well looked after by super caring staff at the Centre.
