With their perfect mastery and rigorous application of the Montessori pedagogy, have encouraged La\u00e9lia to develop her autonomy and self-confidence while providing her with a solid foundation in areas as diverse as writing and reading, art (music and visual arts), mathematics, languages (bilingual environment) and botany. \n<br><br>\nThe organization of the classroom and the care given to the outdoor spaces allowed her to evolve in an environment conducive to learning. Finally, she benefited from the mix of ages: first by imitating the older children, then by transmitting her knowledge to the younger ones.
