 Veronique Liebmann
- Director
The school founder and Director, Véronique Liebmann,
is a native of Annecy, France. She holds a Bachelor
Degree in Business and Administration (1983, Lyon,
France). Véronique moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota
in 1993. Véronique was certified as an Early
Childhood Montessori Teacher by the American
Montessori Society in June 1995. In 1996, she
visited several Francophone Schools in Canada and an
immersion preschool program in the Chicago area. She
was at this time convinced that she could benefit
the community best by teaching in her native
language. In September 1996 she introduced a French
immersion program for pre-schoolers in St. Paul, MN.
In September 1998 she founded formerly “La Maison
des Enfants”, French Pre-school & Kindergarten
program in Eden Prairie, MN. Since 1998, the program
has grown to 5th grade. Véronique was awarded
“Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year” by the Small
Business Administration (SBA) in May 2004.
From Véronique: "At a young age, children do
not learn a language. They just absorb it when they
are offered the right environment. After ten years
teaching in the immersion setting, I am still amazed
observing the children's abilities in learning
another language. They do not worry about mistakes,
they are excellent mimics, and just want their
message to get across: Isn't that what languages are
all about?” |
