Bonne educatrice EN

I deeply believe that the child is the maker of the adult. To educate is also to sow the seeds of peace by nurturing the development of self-esteem, respect for others and for the world around us. This conviction guides my choices and gives full meaning to my commitment to children.

Today, I have the joy of putting my experience and skills at the service of children and their families as a Montessori educator and director of the school. Every day, I strive to offer children a setting that respects their pace and fosters their fulfilment.

My background is nourished by the study of different pedagogical approaches, of the child's psycho-sensory-motor development and of the functional analysis of the body in movement. It was during these studies that I discovered Maria Montessori's thinking and her profound understanding of every child's human potential. This encounter was decisive: I chose to devote myself to supporting children aged 2½ to 6 and earned my Montessori Educator diploma at the Maria Montessori Institute in Lyon.

For more than ten years, I have supported children through this pedagogy, convinced that each one carries within them the strengths needed for their own construction. Our role is above all to recognise this potential, to take it into consideration and to offer the conditions that will allow it to reveal itself fully.

My commitment is to offer each child a prepared environment that responds precisely to their needs and to provide them, in Maria Montessori's words, with "help to life", so that they can grow in confidence, develop their autonomy and flourish fully.

My name is Amy and I am delighted to join the teaching team of the École Montessori Internationale Les Colibris in Neuilly-sur-Seine as an English-speaking educator from September 2026.

A native English speaker, I divided my career between film and television, as a screenwriter and translator, and teaching English in several primary schools in Paris, before training in AMI Montessori pedagogy for children aged 3 to 6.

Born in London and having arrived in France at the age of ten, I grew up in a bilingual environment from an early age. This experience deeply shaped my vision of language learning, which I see as a genuine lever for a child's development, both intellectually and creatively, as well as in the way they make sense of the world.

My path, at the crossroads of teaching and creation for children, has nourished my interest in storytelling, communication and self-expression. I am particularly drawn to the Montessori approach, in which languages come to life within a prepared environment, where the child learns by exploring, experimenting and through everyday exchanges.

I am committed to guiding children in a natural, lively and joyful learning of English, nurturing their curiosity and giving them the confidence they need to open up to the language and express themselves with ease, enthusiasm and pleasure.
