Nursery in Montpellier: Da Vinci Private School in Castelnau-le-Lez (Hérault)

Looking for a nursery in Montpellier? Da Vinci Private School, in Castelnau-le-Lez near Montpellier, is a bilingual French–English private international school. Welcoming children aged 2 to 11, this preschool and primary school stands as a high-quality alternative to the traditional nursery.

A high-quality alternative to nurseries and day care

Da Vinci Private School welcomes children from the age of 2 into its youngest class, with no requirement that they be out of nappies. The school offers facilities and care drawn from the best practice in early-years childcare — the youngest children nap in good conditions, comparable to those of a dedicated nursery.

A bilingual environment from the earliest years

From their earliest years, children benefit from a bilingual French–English environment. This early immersion encourages both languages to be learnt naturally, guided by qualified bilingual teachers using methods suited to each child’s own pace.

Stimulating activities for the youngest

Beyond naptime, the school offers stimulating, age-appropriate activities: educational games and creative work that feed cognitive and emotional development, in a balance between rest and active stimulation.

A personalised teaching approach

Learning is not limited to academic knowledge: there is art, science, music and sport. Every child is treated as a unique individual, with personalised support from the teaching team.

Close attention to early childhood

Early-years care sits at the heart of how the school is organised, from the age of 2. Child protection is an absolute priority, with strict protocols to guarantee the safety of every child — and a close relationship maintained with families, through regular meetings and open communication.

With its welcoming environment, its innovative teaching methods and its commitment to the well-being of every child, Da Vinci Private School offers a distinctive educational experience, from early childhood to the end of primary school.
