Camille Mourot

Kindergarten teacher, 3-6 years

Trained in Paris, Camille is a certified primary school teacher with France’s National Education system. After 10 years of experience in Paris and Barcelona, she wanted to evolve her teaching practice and trained in the Montessori method, an approach to education she considers more respectful of each child’s pace and development.

She joined our school, Moderato Montessori, in spring 2026, to take charge of the 3-6 year-old classroom.

Océane Cybula

Primary Classroom Teacher, 6-11 years

Océane holds a Bachelor’s degree in Educational Sciences and a Master’s in Teaching from France. After a first year of experience teaching in preschool, she moved to Canada for two years to teach at a bilingual French-immersion school.

This experience abroad allowed her to discover a different education system, work in a multicultural environment, and above all, learn to adapt to each child’s very different personality and language needs. She was able to implement a wide range of teaching methods that helped each of her students fully develop their French language skills and achieve fluency, both spoken and written, by the end of the school year.

Afterwards, curious and drawn to travel, she moved to New Zealand and French Polynesia, where she improved her English and discovered other cultures and ways of life.

Océane is convinced that an alternative pedagogy helps children flourish and build self-confidence. In her view, this confidence is the foundation of successful learning, nurtured by a caring and secure environment.

By joining our school, Moderato Montessori, she hopes to continue enriching her teaching practice and support children in an environment that is open to the world and respectful of each child’s own pace.

Yamila Castells

Class Assistant, 3-6 years

Yamila spent her childhood in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), surrounded by rivers, forests, and strong winds. Her great passions are education and music. Her curiosity to discover the world led her to live in different cities and countries, until in 2010 she decided to settle in Barcelona.

She first studied art history, photography, and music. After graduating, she began collaborating with NGOs, organizing photography workshops. She continued as a volunteer in various educational, artistic, and environmental projects over the following years.

Years later, while working in the south of France, she realized that pursuing a career in education was her true calling. She developed a different approach to teaching music, focusing on exploration, sensory development, enjoyment, and following each student’s own pace.

In 2015, she became a certified English teacher through Cambridge University, and continued to focus on students, their interests and needs, and the importance of the physical and emotional environment in building their confidence and providing a positive learning experience. She specialized in working with young children and discovered the joy of incorporating storytelling, music, free play, and art and science projects into educational activities.

All of these experiences inspired her to become a Montessori guide. She firmly believes that observation, effective communication, and self-awareness are key to better supporting children’s development.

In her free time, Yamila plays world music, studies evolutionary astrology, and practices Qi Gong.
