Early Childhood Montessori Teacher Education Course Curriculum
Course Description
The Early Childhood Montessori course may be completed over a minimum period of ten months. That translates into at least 840 hours in the lecture room, in the classroom working with children, completing assignments and projects, and developing your albums and required materials.
The student teachers will learn about the purpose, and the educational philosophy of the Montessori materials being presented to them. We provide you with an opportunity to get hands-on practice with the materials, under the supervision of an instructor.
