Les Oliviers French Montessori teaches Montessori Curriculum for students aged 1.5 to 6.
Curriculum
The school offers two Montessori programs for ages 18 months to 6 years: Infant Community (18 months–3 years) and Casa Dei Bambini (3–6 years). The Infant Community is led by a French-speaking AMI Montessori-trained guide with an English-speaking assistant, in a prepared environment that supports independence and development in language development, socialization (Grace and Courtesy), movement, practical life, and functional independence. The Casa Dei Bambini program emphasizes the five core Montessori areas—Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Culture—together with Grace and Courtesy, in a mixed-age setting led by an AMI-trained French educator with an English-speaking assistant. Both programs provide bilingual instruction in French and English. Additionally, the Montessori 'You & Me' accompanied program welcomes babies and caregivers, and the Casa Dei Bambini option includes 4- to 5-morning schedules or full-day care from 9am to 3pm with snacks provided and lunches brought from home.
Wellbeing
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Les Oliviers French Montessori supports social and emotional learning (SEL) through its bilingual, mixed‑age Montessori environment and explicit socialization focus. The Infant Community is led by a French‑speaking AMI Montessori‑trained guide with an English‑speaking assistant, creating a social setting that promotes independence, concentration, and peer interaction. Grace and Courtesy is named as a focus in the Infant Community, referring to socialization and soft skills development. In the Casa Dei Bambini program, social skills and a sense of community are natural outgrowths of the multi‑age setting. The Montessori You & Me accompanying program engages families and centres on bonding, language development, and social engagement.
Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) support. The publicly described programs cover Infant Community and Casa Dei Bambini montessorian curriculum without mention of dedicated SEN services. The staff includes AMI‑trained educators and program leads, but the school is not described as a specialist SEN institution. Public pages do not specify accommodations, assessments, or targeted SEN provisions. Therefore, explicit SEN support details are not available from the public materials.
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Les Oliviers operates in both French and English, described as Singapore's only authentic Montessori school in French and English. The Infant Community is staffed by a French‑speaking guide and an English‑speaking assistant, indicating bilingual language support. There is no separate, publicly described EAL program; language support appears to be integrated via the bilingual classroom model rather than a distinct EAL service. An AMI‑trained educator and English‑speaking teachers also support language development across the early years.
Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is supported through a home‑like, warm classroom environment and a focus on social skills and community belonging. The Infant Community is described as a home away from home that supports independence and social development. Grace and Courtesy and socialization activities promote emotional regulation and positive peer interactions. The Casa Dei Bambini program emphasizes social skills, empathy, and self‑regulation as part of daily practice. The Montessori You & Me program reinforces bonding and language development within a small, caring setting.
Safeguarding
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding or child protection policies. Public materials outline the standard Montessori programs and staff, but no explicit safeguarding policy is described on the accessible pages. For families seeking safeguarding details, further information would need to be requested directly.
