THE ASSETS OF OUR SCHOOL

Smiles'n Kids Montessori school welcome children from 2 to 6 years old in 2 bilingual classes.

3 adults per class

We offer each child a personalized follow-up, special attention and care in order to enable him to develop at his own pace. The pedagogical team supervising the 3-6 year old class consists of two certified Montessori Guide (one French speaking, one English speakin) and one assistant.

The 2-3 year old class is supervised by a certified Montessori guide (French speaking) and an English speaking Montessori assistant.

Bilinguism

In our school, children are immersed in a bilingual ambiance French/English throughout the week. In each class and all day long, they will be assisted by 3 adults, two native French speakers and one native English speaker.

The English-speaking person is present the children in the classroom, accompanies them to the park, has friendly chats during the lunch and likewise does the French-speaking teacher. In addition, before lunchtime, teachers take turns to sing song and read books in their language. This way, children discover, explore and play in English and in French all day long. The adults exclusively speak to the children in their mother tongue.

Hence, children learn naturally and effortlessly the new language(s) and become open to other culture(s).

Special activities

In addition to the Montessori pedagogy, we initiate children with valuable tools that will enable them to have a better understanding of themselves and become aware of living together:

·"Mood thermometer": everyday, children learn how to identify and express their emotions in order to better handle them and to develop empathy.

·"Relax Time": a moment of relaxation to raise awareness of their bodies and inner world.

·"Mother Nature": gardening workshops to discover the natural cycle, looking after it and the joy of harvesting the fruits, composting and one field trip to observe the Nature at every season.

Those moments take place during the normal school hours.
