Educational team

In 1988, Annie discovered Maria Montessori’s alternative pedagogy and start training to become a Montessori educator. She has been working for fifteen years as a Montessori school teacher in various schools.

In 2005, Annie joined Secrets d’Enfance’s educational team. She works as a pair with Nuala, an english educator, with the Bear cubs class.

Nuala is from Cork, Ireland. She did her three to six year olds Montessori training at the IMA College in Dublin.  She worked for several years in both Ireland and in France in Montessori schools before stopping to be a stay at home mother for her three children.

She worked as an Administrator for an English school for several years and understand the difficulties in raising bilingual children here in France. Nuala began working at Secrets d'Enfance in September 2014 as the English Montessori teacher for two classes, and she is very happy to be working with children again.

Raised in England, Anais did some of her studies in Paris and completed her Montessori training in London where she started working as a Montessori educator in a school in Clapham. When she moved to France, Anaïs worked for three years in a Billingual Montessori school before joining the Secrets d'Enfance's team in 2004.

Anaïs has been a passionate teacher for the 13 years she has been working with children from 2 to 6. Now she looks after the pre school with Clémence and also teach the Bear cubs ( class for 3 to 6 year olds) .

After a ten years career in Marketing, It is with great strength and will that Nathalie attended internships and training programs to reconvert and became a Montessori educator.

Also trained at the Mental Gesture Theory of Antoine de la Garanderie, she joined the Secrets d'Enfance educational team in 2009, where she now pass on here passion for literature and tales to children from 3 to 6 years old.

I have always enjoyed working with children. As an history student, I work in parallel as a leisure center facilitator, in an association to help with homework and give private lessons. After my year at the IUFM and during the preparation of the school teacher competition, I worked as an AVS (School Life Assistant) in elementary schools. This is when I became interested in alternative pedagogies and discovered Montessori pedagogy. Graduated from AMI in 2001 (Institut Supérieur Maria Montessori in Paris), I worked in a Parisian Montessori school for 4 years before moving to Yvelines to educate my daughter at Secrets d'Enfance. In 2016, I joined the Secrets d'Enfance team as a Montessori educator for my greatest pleasure!

I have a degree in Psychology and for three years I worked in National Education. Passionate about Montessori pedagogy, in 2017 I had the opportunity to work in a Montessori school, which allows me to see and confirm how beneficial this pedagogy is for children.

Following the departure of Laurence in 2017 (who followed her husband to the provinces), I joined the Secrets d'Enfance team to replace her in the early childhood garden with children aged 2/3. I look forward to participating in the development of your children!
