The Montessori Method
Encourage self-confidence and autonomy, while allowing children to develop at their own pace and in complete freedom.
Maria Montessori
a champion of children's rights. "Educating is not training," she advocated.
In January 1907, she opened the first Casa dei Bambini (Children's House) in Rome.
What made Montessori so revolutionary? She provided children with appropriate learning materials, but most of all, she advocated giving them the freedom to choose the activities they want to do, for as long as they want to do them.
Montessori was surprised to find that young children were capable of remarkable levels of concentration and self-discipline.
From this observation she developed the Montessori Method: if children are in an appropriate and prepared environment, guided by a teacher who adapts to and stimulates them, they learn by themselves, at their own pace.
Four years to explore more than 300 Montessori activities
During this coherent learning cycle, the child discovers the material as a whole. They learn alongside two qualified educators, one English-speaking and one French-speaking, who take it in turns to teach them how to use the material, which is divided into 5 large work areas.
Certification from MCI (Montessori Center International) Center International)
Invited by 123 mon école, the MCI spent a few months in our schools to evaluate our professional practices, the diversity of our teaching materials, our bilingual environment and our relations with families.
We are proud of this accreditation, which confirms the quality of the work carried out in our schools.

Within the same class, ages are mixed, in kindergarten from 3 to 6 years old, to encourage mutual support andlearning between children.
The environment must be structured, clean and tidy.
Furniture is adapted to the child's strength and size.
The equipment remains accessible at all times, so that children can handle it independently. They have freedom of choice.
Materials must be respected and handled with care.
It is simple, beautiful and noble.
The adult acts as a guide, observing and allowing the child to experiment, while remaining available to him or her.
Children need to manipulate objects to organize and coordinate their movements.
