With each child is born a whole new world. It is a great joy to communicate with children, not only to teach them important and useful things, but also to discover new ones while looking at the world with the child's eyes. Our teachers of "Petit Espace Lhomond" diplomas in France and Russia participate in a creative atmosphere in the context of small groups.
