Chrysalide Education
In 2017, Dr. Julie Gauthier found difficult to enroll her special needs child (Alexander) in an environment that would take into account his particularities. Hence the idea of creating a structure that could accommodate so-called “normal” children by supervising them in an individualized manner according to the diversity of their profiles and their potentials.
Chrysalide Education is a small educational bilingual (English and French) structure, based on the Montessori Approach. Its maximum capacity is 30 children (ages 3 to 11). The age groups are mixed. This is a warm and intimate place where the staff is responsive to each child’s needs, cultivating their joy of learning, their independance and improving their educationnal performances while having fun.
With a maximum ratio of one qualified adult for eight children
Chrysalide Education offers a confident, stimulating, respectful and personalized childhood educational environment, unique in Tunisia. Since January 2018, Chrysalide Education (Ex The Pines Preschool) is located at La Marsa Ennasim, behind the private clinic El Amen, in a calm and residential neighborhood. The neighbors are retired Tunisian senior executives, foreign aid workers, members of international organizations, diplomats and entrepreneurs.
