Descrição
Espace Montessori Nancy is an educational association located near Nancy (East of France, 1h30 from Paris in train). It includes a micro-daycare center, a Montessori school (kindergarten and elementary), an alternative middle school, and a recreation center open on Wednesdays and during school vacations. Around 90 children aged 0 to 15 attend the center, supported by a team of 18 staff members and many parent volunteers. The association aims to promote Montessori education and provide a caring, inclusive environment that encourages openness to the world. It also organizes workshops for families, conferences, and makes its facilities available for training courses. The European volunteer will mainly work with children aged 3 to 11, both in the classroom and during extracurricular activities. Their tasks include supporting classroom activities following Montessori principles, helping with daily routines, participating in outings and outdoor activities, leading various workshops.
