123 mon école Bois-Colombes

TODDLER COMMUNITY, AGES 2–3

School 3-6 years

The School

123 mon école in Bois-Colombes opened its doors on 24 January 2022.

Our new school, located just across the street from the Parc des Bruyères, is flooded with natural light.

The school day unfolds in a fully bilingual environment where both English and French are spoken.

Starting school at the age of 2 helps children build confidence and independence, and prepares them for the transition to primary school.

Our educational approach is based on the Montessori philosophy and includes materials carefully selected to support the holistic development of 2- and 3-year-old children. Other activities, such as art, hip-hop, music, and baking, round out the program.

Visits & Admissions

In-School Enrichment

Music with Emily

Each week during the school day, Texas native Emily Blackburn leads the children in lively song and dance activities in English.

Children love Emily's original repertoire and her teaching approach that encourages active participation.

Emily, our instructor

Hip-Hop with Séverine

We give children the opportunity to develop their artistic creativity while having fun.
The hip-hop workshop will introduce your children to a vibrant form of dance.

Through hip-hop music and an age-appropriate vocabulary, your children will learn about this facet of urban culture.

Séverine, our instructor

Art with Margaux

Each week, the children are invited to participate in a new workshop in which they discover and try out various artistic techniques.

Through artistic practices such as painting, sculpture, drawing, and collage, children are encouraged to engage with the materials in order to stimulate their creativity and sharpen their skills and visual awareness.

Margaux, our instructor

Extracurricular Enrichment

On Wednesdays, after school, and during school vacations, a team of Montessori teachers and enthusiastic artists offer workshops on a variety of themes such as hip-hop, sculpture, painting, outdoor games, yoga, theater, and screen-free coding.

Life at 123 mon école

Lunch

At 123 mon école, lunch is a continuation of the Montessori approach to education, rather than an interruption. Mealtime is an opportunity for children to share and learn the rules and customs of living together with grace and courtesy.

Nap Time

Nap time is essential for all children in preschool and primary school. Children are given the time they need to rest, with a scheduled nap period from 12:30pm to 3pm.
At the beginning of the school year, each child is assigned their own bed, with a sheet and blanket provided by the school.

Toilet Learning

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.

Everyone needs time to adjust

Each school year, children integrate into the school day gradually, at their own pace.

Parc des Bruyères

Located across the street from the school, this sweeping park is equipped with a swing set, garden, slide, and more.

We also organize sports activities here, weather permitting.

Field Trips

Step out of the classroom, go on a field trip, have an adventure!
Every year we organize field trips for children enrolled at the school, through which they discover a variety of fun and cultural activities.
In previous years we have visited the aquarium, the Jardin des Plantes, the Musée en Herbes, the Paris farm, the Jardin d'Acclimatation, and the theater.

Events

Every year we throw several parties to bring our team and children and their families together: one at Halloween, one at Christmas, and one at the end of the school year.
Each year brings new performances and celebrations: puppet shows, a cotton candy stand, balloon sculpting, and more!

"After four years at the school, three of which were spent with the same dedicated and extremely competent teacher, my daughter Lila literally felt at home. A little girl who feels good about herself, happy to go to school and happy to learn. I sincerely thank 123 Mon école for all these years and unforgettable moments.
