Ariane Le Carboulec is the founder and director of the Montessori Parent Child Center (MPCC), established in 2009 to help families integrate Montessori principles into their homes and parenting. Originally from France, Ariane brings over 20 years of teaching experience and Montessori certifications in Infant/Toddler (0-3), Early Childhood (3-6), and School Administration from the American Montessori Society. As a mother to a toddler, she understands firsthand the joys and challenges of parenting and combines this personal experience with her deep Montessori expertise to help families create harmonious, family-centered home environments that foster independence, connection, and a sense of calm.
Ariane is also certified in Interior Design from the New England Institute of Art, where she learned how to create functional, Montessori-inspired spaces that support children’s development and family life. She specializes in working with parents to transform their homes into nurturing environments that encourage independence, creativity, and peaceful living. Passionate about non-toxic and sustainable design, Ariane is skilled at solving unique challenges and tailoring solutions that align with each family’s needs and lifestyle.
Her innovative approach to Montessori education helped shape the early development of the Wildflower School, where she collaborated closely with its founder and the MIT Media Lab. The parent-child component at Wildflower was largely inspired by the MPCC parent-child program, which the founder attended, helping to shape Wildflower’s vision and early success.
In addition to founding MPCC, Ariane works as a Montessori consultant for schools across the U.S. and has previously served on the Advisory Council at Kingsley Montessori School in Boston, MA. She is committed to helping families implement Montessori principles both at home and in school environments.
Ariane’s passion for family education is also reflected in her certifications as a Level 1 Orff music instructor and a Music Together instructor from the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, NJ. As a trained musician, she integrates music and movement into her teaching, offering families creative and enriching ways to support their children’s development.
