Meva Rakotomavo - Educator

“I'm passionate about education and helping children learn and grow! I believe in fostering a love of learning in every child, and I think the Montessori method is a fantastic way to do that. It is the same passion that I have found here in Sunflower Montessori Brussels! The whole Sunflower Team is all about letting kids explore and learn at their own pace, following their own interests. This helps them become independent, self-confident individuals who are excited about discovering the world around them. I started as a trainee in Sunflower 7 years ago, and working here has taught me a lot and like the children I enjoy learning. I have a Bachelor’s degree in “Sciences de l’éducation” and a Master's degree in “Métiers de l’enseignement, de l’éducation et de la formation”. You could say I'm a bit of an education nerd! But hey, that just means I'm even more dedicated to educating your kids!”

“After obtaining my AMI Montessori educator diploma at the Institut Supérieur Maria Montessori in Paris and my childcare diploma in Brussels, I had the chance to work in different schools between Paris and Brussels. 8 years ago, I joined the Sunflower Montessori team.

Accompanied by an exceptional multicultural team, I had the opportunity to support many children in their development journey, while organizing a Montessori environment that promotes their development in harmony and serenity. I am happy to continue this beautiful adventure with children and their families.”

“Sunflower est une famille, une famille qui m’a aidé à grandir professionnellement. Au quotidien, j’ai le plaisir de partager une partie de moi avec les enfants comme lors de nos séances de yoga ! Je suis fière de pouvoir accompagner les enfants au sein de Sunflower avec un regard et une pratique holistique qui les soutiennent dans cette découverte de l’aventure qu’est la vie !

“Working at Sunflower is a real pleasure! I really appreciate the warm and caring atmosphere among my colleagues, the children, and the parents. In my humble opinion, here at Sunflower Montessori, teachers focus on children’s autonomy and development. I am proud to be part of this wonderful adventure, and I intend to stay for as long as I can!”
