Bilingual Montessori School near Geneva
The Montessori L’Idylle school in Crans-près-Céligny (Canton of Vaud) is designed to meet the needs of young children for exploration and discovery, giving them the opportunity to grow in confidence and independence by providing them with an adapted environment.
The presence of different ages in each group (18 months to 3 years and from 3 to 6 years) allows us to build the Man who slumbers in each child.
The children will be led to discover respect, solidarity and a sense of responsibility through social experiences.
Our strong points
The classrooms
As a logical continuation of the transition from the trotters to the “grown-up” group, the children will experience a new social life. Our class is composed of 30 children, a necessary number for the harmony of our small society to enrich everyone’s life by developing qualities and values.
Trotters are welcomed in a small group, in a Montessori environment that specifically meets their needs. This first experience in a small company is an important moment that lays the foundations for a sense of security and self-esteem.
Extracurricular activities
The Idylle Grand-Pré school offers extra-curricular activities in accordance with the philosophy of Maria Montessori.

Our son attended the Idylle for 4 years and we are very grateful for the impact of the Montessori Idylle on his personal development, the acquisition of specific skills and above all his self-discovery.
The teachers, the staff and the parents’ association sincerely care for the well-being of each child and are committed to giving parents and children personal, caring and very satisfying attention : Our child was at the centre of his or her education and was treated with respect and attention.
We and our son also formed lasting friendships and facilitated our rooting, as expatriates, in this community.
We therefore decided to continue our son’s school education in the Montessori system.
Montessori l’Idylle is the school that our children attended during their first years of school and that they left with a very solid base to continue in the big classes.
Excellent teachers, superb facilities and a personal approach to each child. A school that we recommend without any doubt.
L’Idylle is like a big family for children who help and learn together in mutual respect. The teachers are great, very much loved by the children and listen to the parents.
My children have spent unforgettable years in this school, which has allowed them to develop an insatiable curiosity, great self-confidence and autonomy that will be precious to them throughout their lives.
I put my 2 year old boy in the trotters at L’idylle Montessori and was very satisfied!
The beginnings were very hard because my son couldn’t stand the separation but I was wonderfully accompanied through this difficult passage. My son also received all the attention and affection necessary to hold on and get used to my absence. I immediately had great confidence in the team.
I find the premises very pleasant and bright, the quality equipment and the rhythm of the day very healthy. It’s also very calm for a crèche, so the child comes home less tired. The Montessori principle of letting the child do it by himself while being accompanied is really constructive.
As a mother, we often tend to do things for our children and this gives the right balance. Thank you, my son is well in his head and ready for school!
