Dandelion

Dear families,

We write to you with a great sadness, since we will finally not be able to continue our project. Despite having contacted an accounting expert, created the society and prepared the local, the PMI still does not give us permission to open. We have chequed all possible alternatives (private school, MAM, extracurricular activities...) but it seems that none of them correspond to what we have. Our European diplomas are not enough in France.

Finally, after several months of intense struggle to get our dream forward, we are exhausted, so we have decided not to continue the project.

Maybe later, when we've recovered, we will try again.

We will continue to post on Facebook with educational and interesting articles, due to its great success.

Thank you all for believing in Dandelion!!!

A big hug,

Marta and andry

Two different ways of learning to read ;)

There is a debate among educators regarding the best way to teach reading and writing. In one camp are the whole language proponents. They believe that reading and writing must be presented in context, working with content that has meaning. They teach children to read whole words from the beginning....

Dear families,

we are sad to announce that we will not be able to open in February as initially planned. We were asked for an unforeseen authorization that could take up to three months.
We apologize to the families who were counting on us, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do to speed up the process. We are really sad as everything is almost prepared for opening.

We will keep you informed about Dandelion's evolution.

Thanks for your comprehension.
