A professional and dedicated team at the service of the children
Our Team
FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR
Ludivine
After a 20-year career in multinational companies in Paris, Singapore and Geneva, with her experience with her four children and her Montessori AMI 3-6 educator diploma, Ludivine decided to open an innovative school, with the ambition of liberating the potential and uniqueness of each child.
“Montessori Happy Kids was born out of a realisation: education is the cornerstone of our societies. As Maria Montessori said so well “the child is the future of man” and tomorrow’s society will be shaped by today’s children. They are the ones who will have to make the right decisions to ensure the sustainable development of our planet, to face the climate challenge and its multiple collateral issues (migratory, social, economic...). We therefore need men and women who are creative and sensitive, curious and open, confident and fulfilled, supportive and connected to the nature that surrounds us.”
