L'Alliance New York Preschool (formerly FIAF) is a French-immersion preschool in Midtown East for children ages 2.5 to 5, founded in 2012. Its bicultural curriculum blends French structure with American creativity, immersing children in French throughout the day while welcoming families with no prior French. Two small classrooms (a Junior class and a Pre-K class), each with a head teacher and an assistant, offer half-day and full-day options plus extended-day care until 6pm. Graduates have gone on to top NYC private and international kindergartens.
