The Montessori Teaching Method
As the Montessori teaching method is based on the natural stages of childhood development, the training course will help you understand children’s emotional, mental, psychological and physical development across several age groups. Your understanding of these stages will help you identify cases where intervention may be necessary and to plan and implement appropriate intervention strategies.
What You’ll Learn
You’ll learn how to prepare an age-appropriate environment, conducive to self-development for three to six year old children (early childhood). You’ll learn how to assess children on an individual level and how to guide their progress.
The Montessori Method uses specially-designed materials to facilitate optimal development; you’ll learn how to best incorporate these and other didactic materials in the curriculum.
You’ll also need to be proficient in the subjects taught at Montessori schools, including practical life, sensorial language, maths, art, music, history, science, geography, botany and zoology.
The Montessori Method works best when the principles are applied in the home, as well as the school context. The training course shows teachers how to work with families so that they can use Montessori education strategies in their daily lives and ensure that their children’s learning and development continues at home.
Teaching Training Course Structure
Teacher training courses are available on a full-time, part-time and online learning basis. Full-time, part-time & online students are required to attend an orientation session and lectures (three times per week for full-time students, once per week for part-time students and two 3 hour webinars per week for online students). The course contains theory and practical components.
In order to pass, you’ll have to complete essays, tests, research projects, material design projects, mock practical exams, a mini-thesis and book summaries. You will need an average of 60% to qualify for the final theory and practical exams.
Once you’ve completed either the full-time, part-time, or online learning course, you qualify as a Montessori early childhood teacher.

ATTENTION!
Be aware that some Montessori training organisations are claiming to have international accreditation. It is therefore important that you check the authenticity of their claims. When enrolling on a Montessori Teacher Training Programme, ensure that you verify the courses claims to accreditation. The College Of Modern Montessori is the ONLY Montessori Teacher Training Institution in South Africa to be internationally accredited by an independent accreditation board: MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education). Please be aware that an affiliation to an international institution is not the same as accreditation by an independent body.
