Les Pouces Verts Montéssori School
Founded in 1976, Les Pouces Verts Montessori School in Mouans-Sartoux welcomes children aged 2 to 15, providing nearly 40 years of educational excellence. The Montessori pedagogy aims to nurture the "adults of tomorrow" by fostering autonomous development through self-corrective sensory materials and personalized guidance from dedicated educators. Beyond academic teachings, each child cultivates a sense of openness to the world through arts, music, languages, and group activities.

Created by Kids for Kids
We are students aged 9 to 12. We learned about a platform that offered to sell our creations and that with this money we could support a cause.
We all discussed together and decided to be helpful to the blind through Guide Dogs for the Blind.
First, we drew on this theme; then we thought further and realized that our drawings could be used to create a composition. That’s why you see elements of our drawings in the upper part of our heads.
Why did we do this? We put ourselves in the shoes of a visually impaired or blind person and imagined our own images in our minds. It’s a bit like it was our dream as a visually impaired child. Therefore, we only took photos of the lower part of our faces; we deliberately chose to present our work on black paper to highlight it and to represent the world in which blind people live every day.
As part of this initiative, we also decided to host a blind person, Aurélie, with her guide dog and a representative from the PACA region at our school. It was very interesting, and we were able to ask them all the questions we had prepared about both the person and the guide dogs.
We created a sensory mandala as a thank you card for Aurélie (the blind person).
Some of us wrote texts on this theme.
Finally, we read, in class, Frédéric Clément’s book “Petite Touche.” It’s the story of a little blind girl who befriends a crow.
We were very fortunate because the book was adapted into a show combining theater and puppetry; we went to see it! It was truly magnificent and magical. Very true to the book. We had the opportunity to talk with the director and the puppet creator.
