Our vision for the future
In 1997, Florence founded the school with the desire to support her own children through their education. Over time, this personal project blossomed into a shared adventure with many other families, always guided by the same spirit of care and openness. The school offers a flexible and welcoming environment where each child can grow and thrive. The goal is to build strong foundations — both academically and in the children’s social and emotional development.
After 27 wonderful years leading the school, Florence has handed over the reins to Mélissa and Fabienne — two people she chose for their shared vision and deep commitment to the school’s values: a human-scale project built on strong family connections and close relationships with the community. Fabienne, whose own children attended the school, and Mélissa have been working together for several years. Their partnership grew naturally, and today they continue the journey side by side, with warmth, harmony, and a deep respect for the spirit of the school.
We are committed to keeping our school small and family-centered — a place where every child and family feels welcomed, supported, and at home. Because this environment means so much to us, we want to offer our educational approach to children for as long as possible. With that in mind, we’re excited to announce the opening of a 6–9 year-old class starting in August 2026.

our Philosophy
Thanks to Maria Montessori’s pedagogy, appropriate sensorial materials, and a qualified staff, each child can grow naturally, maintain their individuality, and fully develop their own personality during this crucial stage of their life. The educational materials support a strong foundation in knowledge acquisition.
Our school welcomes children up to the age of 7. During these four years in a Montessori environment, your child will develop general knowledge, along with foundational skills in writing, reading, and mathematics, preparing them to continue their educational journey with confidence.
Children learn and grow in mixed-age groups, which encourages motivation, mutual support, and the development of social skills. The younger ones benefit from the experience of their older peers, who, in turn, deepen their own skills by guiding and helping the younger children.
Our school is above all a welcoming, family-oriented place where everyone feels heard and supported. Parents’ involvement is deeply valued, and communication is open, honest, and built on trust. Our team is available and flexible, always ready to support families in their daily lives. Together, we build a vibrant, caring community connected to the neighborhood.
