Montessori schools: we say yes to the Montessori method! But where in Paris?

by | Feb 18, 2021 | Good plans, School, Parents

At KidleeMontessori pedagogy is a source of much inspiration. Especially during the hours of childcare performed by our babysitters. It is useful to remember that this method of education created more than 100 years ago is still talked about today. Mrs. Maria Montessori offers us a pedagogical revolution whose main objective is to allow the child to be in harmony with himself to become a responsible and balanced adult. As a result, more and more parents are choosing to enroll their children in a Montessori school in France, especially in Paris.

As you can see, the Montessori method is very popular at the moment and does not leave super-parents indifferent! To meet the challenge, some parents are taking online courses to better understand the method while others prefer to enroll their children in Montessori schools that offer services with approved materials and certified educators. 

If you have decided to go for the "certified school" option, we have great news for you! Our team has put together a non-exhaustive list of Montessori schools in the Paris area with a short description to help you make your choice.
