Qualification Introduction and Purpose

“The real preparation for education is the study of one’s self. The training of the teacher who is to help life is something far more than the learning of ideas. It includes the training of character; it is a preparation of the spirit” []

If we take this vision of Maria Montessori seriously, then the training of Montessori teachers must involve a unique approach. One which values not only the challenge and demand of understanding child development and the Montessori curriculum, the development of skills needed for managing the dynamics of a Montessori classroom, but also values the development of the individual who is in training.

The Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy – Birth to Seven (Early Years Educator), therefore recognises that a training in Montessori pedagogy requires a breadth of understanding and varied set of skills as well as specific attitudes to children and to on-going development.

The objective of this qualification is to provide the learner with the expertise, skills and professional approach needed to become a Montessori educator, acting as a key person in a Montessori classroom. This includes preparation of the environment, preparation of oneself, observation of children’s development and skills in using an integrated understanding of children and the Montessori materials to guide children’s learning and development.
