Montessori private bilingual preschools

Pedagogical project

SINCE 2012, ALREADY 10 YEARS OF EXISTENCE AND KNOW-HOW

We strive to provide a warm welcome to each child and his or her family.

Daily interaction with families is one of our top priorities.

A bilingual English/French international environment

Every opportunity is good to bring to life the cultures from which the children come.
high potential

We aspire to bring out children's highest potential.

Neuroscientists, pediatricians, and early childhood professionals all agree: the first years of a child's life, from birth to age 6, are formative ones.

We lay the foundation for academic learning.

Report regularly and in detail on the child's progress and development at school.
creativite-ferdinand

We emphasize the role and importance of creativity.

Children are given daily opportunities to express their creativity through art, sports, music, yoga, and philosophy, which form the foundations of the 123 mon école method.
hygiene-liz

We ensure impeccable safety and hygiene.

Clean, well-cared-for schools are one of our central concerns. The children and our teams spend their days in a comforting environment with ample natural lighting.

Why start school at age 2?

Preschool gives children an advantage

We provide "preschool" classes specifically for 2-year-olds, based on the Montessori Method and learning materials, in an age-appropriate environment.
Children gain in self-confidence and independence, and make a smoother transition to primary school.

Everyone needs time to adjust

At the beginning of each school year, the children integrate the school gradually, at their own pace.

Toilet learning: a big step forward

Most toddlers have not yet learned to use the toilet on their own. Our teachers care for them during diaper changes and guide them gradually towards independent toilet use.

The goal is for them to be out of diapers by the time they enter primary school.

Creativity, sports, and music
are key to our educational approach

The school's founder, Goli Aryeh, has made weekly art, music, and athletic activities a consistent part of the curriculum since 123 mon école was founded.

Group activities

In keeping with Montessori philosophy, we emphasize group participation for art, music, and sports activities.

Sports

Athletic activity is necessary for the development of essential motor skills, through movement, balance work, and manipulating objects by throwing or catching them.
Small children begin to practice these gestures in their first games.
Group sports activities provide an opportunity to foster team spirit and teach children to have fun within an established set of rules.

the sport

Music

Children sharpen their ears and grow familiar with different instruments by listening to a variety of music. Rhythm and beat are explored through a wide range of formats such as rhymes, onomatopoeia, and body movements.
The children have access to claves, tambourines, maracas, and other instruments, providing them an introduction to musical practice.

Art

123 mon école enjoys working with artists because they embody an invaluable open-mindedness and introduce children to a variety of worlds that nourish their imaginations. The photographer Mélissa Boucher, the sculptor India Leire, and the painter Tamaris Borrelly are among those who regularly lead classes at the school.
Children have access to a wide range of materials so that they may explore different creative paths. Possible activities include outdoor mural creation, painting, drawing, sculpture, and discovering artists and artworks.

Progress reports are key to our educational approach

An online progress reporting tool

For each child, teachers provide thorough, constructive, online progress reports that address skills acquisition and overall development.

Laying the foundations for primary school

Montessori and the national education program, one of our priority missions. We have created a "Montessori activities" equivalence in terms of skills recommended by the national education, in order to make this follow-up booklet understandable by all schools.

Instructor reports

Our in-school sports, music, and art instructors also contribute to children's progress reports in order to provide a holistic view of their psychomotor, social, artistic, and musical development.

Management oversight

The management team has a global vision of the school, and keeps a close eye on how each class is progressing.

For parents

The teachers follow up on the acquisition of the children's skills, respecting their overall development.

The blog

It can often be difficult for young children to recall or relate details of their day at school. Our secure blog, exclusively for families of enrolled children, provides a way to share in their daily experiences.

A simplified administrative process

Families can access their administrative portal online (invoices, attendants, etc...).
