Jeanne Kanoute
Assistant Teacher
Jeanne was born and raised in Dakar, Senegal, where she began her journey in education and cultural engagement. After completing her studies, she moved to Morocco to further her education and earned her diploma there. She then launched her professional career in the airline industry, working with Air France in Dakar and Atlas (Royal Air Maroc) in Morocco, before becoming a flight attendant. This role allowed Jeanne to experience diverse cultures around the world and developed her strong skills in communication, patience, and empathy—qualities she brings to her work with children.
In 2020, Jeanne moved to the United States to be with her husband and has since earned a certification as a Medical Office Assistant. She worked in a Montessori school, where she gained extensive hands-on experience with young children, building nurturing and supportive classroom environments. Jeanne is passionate about inspiring curiosity and joy in her students, and she finds great fulfillment in helping children grow and thrive. In her free time, she enjoys music and spending quality time with her own children.
