Meet Julie

French preschool and elementary school teacher

I was born and grew up in France. I studied at the Science University of Montpellier. Then, I graduated with a Master's degree in preschool and elementary education and I became a teacher for the French Ministry of Education in 2015.  I taught French in different schools in France, in Russia and in the USA. In 2021, in addition to my work as a teacher, I have taken on the role of Preschool and Kindergarten Pedagogical Coordinator in a French Immersion School in the Seattle area. 

​

I'm a passionate teacher. I believe my role is to support children in their learning by providing them with an engaging atmosphere and tools they need to grow and move forward in the world. While I'm teaching them French language skills, I help them question and develop their knowledge, understand the importance of doing mistake and trying again in the learning process, take initiative and set learning objectives to become more independent, as well as develop social and emotional skills to growing together. 
 

It seems to me that their is no better place for children to grow and learn than the nature environment. I created Pomme de pin to offer children a natural, fun and engaging space where they can interact with nature, learn about themselves and the environment that surrounds us. 

​

Our mission
