We are so glad you have joined our Montessori Academy family. We are glad you are just as committed as we are to helping the very young grow and develop. This training will help guide you on your way to being a successful member of our Montessori team. The Montessori environment is very different from many other classroom environments that you may have experienced along the way. It is grounded in the research and philosophy developed by Maria Montessori. You may be use to a classroom full of desks and chairs, where a Montessori classroom has low tables and chairs, and wide open floor spaces. You may be use to a collection of dolls in the corner or toys, but a Montessori classroom is an orderly environment full of learning materials on low shelves for children to chose. Click on this sentence to see a comparison to a Montessori classroom and a traditional one.
Click on Dr. Maria Montessori's picture below to read about her fascinating life and a brief history of the Montessori movement. After you are finished, you are ready to begin your Montessori training adventure. This part of the training you will receive at our school is entitled Montessori Manners: Communicating with the Young Child. Click on The Social Graces of a Montessori Directress on the menu bar to your left to get started. You may review any part of this training at any time. Be sure to take each quiz that is available at the end of each page.
"The greatest sign of success for a teacher....is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I do not exist."" -- Dr. Maria Montessori
