Bilingual preschool opens in Paris's 20th arrondissement

École M Paris 20 to welcome its first children in September 2025

Good news for families in the 20th arrondissement: a new preschool is opening its doors at the start of the new school year! Located at 45 rue de la Cour des Nouesjust a short walk away from Place Gambetta, École M Paris 20 will offer a warm, bright and caring environment, designed with the development of young children in mind.

An active, bilingual and caring pedagogical project from the age of 2 and a half

Like all écoles M, École M Paris 20 is based on a blend of active pedagogies, inspired by the Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Freinet approaches. The aim is to encourage autonomy, curiosity, cooperation and self-confidence from an early age.

The school will welcome children aged 2 and a half to 6, in a safe, stimulating environment where each child progresses at his or her own pace.

Bilingual French-English immersion on a daily basis

From the moment they start school, children benefit from bilingual French-English immersion. Every day, they evolve in an environment where the two languages coexist naturally, thanks to the presence of English-speaking and French-speaking adults in the classroom. This early bilingualism fosters cultural openness, cognitive flexibility and intuitive learning of a second language from an early age.

A first class with an exceptional pupil-teacher ratio

For its first year of operation, the school will offer a single class of 20 children, taught by three experienced adults. This increased staffing level guarantees personalized care and attention for each child, and a smooth transition to life in the community.

A secure inner courtyard and bright spaces

The premises also have spacious rooms and exceptional natural lighting, providing a pleasant, soothing learning environment.

Eco-responsible commitment

In keeping with the eco-responsible spirit of the neighborhood, École M promotes sustainable development by teaching children the importance of preserving our planet for future generations.
