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.

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.
Parent Experience

History
Les Oliviers French Montessori opened in January 2017 in Singapore as a bilingual French‑English Montessori school. The initial intake was for children around 3 to 6 years old, guided by a francophone AMI‑trained educator with an English‑speaking assistant. In September 2018, the school relocated to the Dempsey area to accommodate growth and added a second ambiance, creating two classrooms: an Infant Community for 18 months to 3 years and a Casa dei Bambini for 3–6 years, with a weekly Mandarin introduction. In 2020, the school moved to Namly Estate on Bukit Timah, continuing to operate with AMI‑trained educators in a bilingual Montessori environment. The current model maintains mixed‑age groups and bilingual instruction in French and English across the Inf ant Community and Casa dei Bambini.

Community
The school offers a bilingual, French‑exposed environment with mixed‑age classrooms led by AMI‑trained staff. The Infant Community is led by a French‑speaking AMI Montessori guide with an English‑speaking assistant, while the Casa dei Bambini follows a similar staffing model for 3–6 year‑olds. The school also runs Montessori, You & Me, a weekly program for babies and caregivers to experience Montessori together. Open Doors Montessori lists Les Oliviers as a location for parent‑child playgroups, supporting ongoing community involvement and connection among families.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
A formal Parent‑Teacher Association is not publicly documented for Les Oliviers French Montessori. Parent involvement is facilitated through programs such as Montessori, You & Me, and through community activities like parent‑child playgroups listed by Open Doors Montessori. The school emphasizes AMI‑trained staff and a bilingual environment to engage families beyond traditional PTA events. Public sources do not indicate a separate PTA committee or a schedule of PTA‑led conferences. These arrangements reflect a model of family engagement centered on guided Montessori activities and community playgroups rather than a standalone PTA structure.
