3 Best Preschools in Eugene, OR

We feel so lucky that our youngest child had the chance to attend the Little French School for preschool and pre-k. The teachers are absolutely amazing—so caring and thoughtful, and they really focus on each child’s needs. It’s clear how much they love what they do and how much they want the kids to succeed, both academically and emotionally. The education is really top-notch. My 4-year-old is already mastering skills that most kindergartners are just starting to learn. Plus, the French language program has been such a great bonus. It’s incredible to see our child picking up French so naturally and developing an early love for a second language. This is our last year at the Little French School, and while we’re excited for the next chapter, we’ll dearly miss it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a warm, fun, and high-quality preschool that also introduces kids to the beauty of learning French.

I can’t say enough good things about The Little French School! Our kids love going to school every day. Every interaction we’ve had with the teachers and administration has been positive & kind, they all genuinely care about the kids. We get face time with the teachers every day at drop-off and a weekly email sharing classroom activities throughout the week. The classrooms are big, organized, & clean, but the teacher to child ratio is small. Kids get plenty of outdoor play as part of a predictable daily routine. My kids are learning about the world in developmentally appropriate ways (sensory tub for toddlers, numbers & letters for pre-k) and they’re learning a second language. (Parents don’t need to speak French, but I’ve been inspired to start learning so I know what my kids are saying!).

Wonderful school experience! My child is not only learning but also thoroughly enjoying the process. The exposure to various cultures during heritage day/week/month activities has been enriching for her. The teachers in her class - Barbara and Ariel - are exceptionally kind and sensitive, making the overall learning environment truly fantastic. Bonus: my little one also picking up French!!! Highly recommend the school.

Always very welcoming and so helpful with everything. If we were running late for pickup we were able to leave our daughter until we made it. Mrs. Cristy brought her home for us a couple of times when we weren’t able to make it in time and we were so grateful for that. Our daughter learned so much. Letters, numbers, songs and so much more. They were always very clean and tidy and the nicest people. We will definitely miss little ducks.

Cristy and Shawn are such sweet and amazing people! My daughter just loves them and the preschool! They are a wonderful, kind, caring, special family! Thank you for providing such a safe, warm, and engaging environment for the children! Thank you, Cristy and Shawn, for welcoming us the way you did and for caring for and teaching my child the way you do! You truly go above and beyond! We appreciate you and your amazing hearts.

My son has been at Little Ducks Preschool for a little over a year now and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provide! My son loves Mrs. Cristy and the level of trust we have built with her is more than I could ever ask for. As a parent, you can’t help but worry about your child’s safety while they are in school, but the open communication provided at Little Ducks gives my husband and I a peace of mind.
