Laurent will continue to serve as Director of Le Jardin d’Enfants Montessori d’Auteuil – a wholly owned school of the Bilingual Mon-tessori School of Paris, and will assume responsibility of ensuring academic direction for Montessori Connect. Laurent joined the BMSP in 1998 to expand the Toddler program and to create a Children’s House back in the School’s original premises at Avenue George V. Laurent, a former Systems Engineer, owned and operated his own technology firm when he discovered Montessori and its beneficial pedagogy for his child, who is blind in one eye. He immediately re-dedicated his life to instructing Montessori and passed his AMI 3-6 diploma in France. Laurent is now a co-Director and administrator of our Auteuil campus.
